There is a vw drain that came on Jettas and Rabbits, etc. I ran across a
used one and am going to install it on mine pretty soon. You splice it into
the heater hose under the sliding door, I'm pretty sure. Just turn the knob
and it drains. As is, try to find the lowest point on your van with a hose
connection and open it, knowing that you're going to need a shower and a
change of clothes by the time you are done.
