My take on it was that we all lived for many years with mold in our house or cave so a little bit of mold can't hurt. I've seen the distress it causes certain people, though, so have come 180 for it's elimination in my houses.
Changing the environmental conditions needed for the mold to establish is typically the easiest. Raise the temperature and get some air flowing across it. You may still have spores to deal with but the maker of spores will be gone. A good quality active air filter deals with spores pretty well.
For the van, I'd study to see if it is worth the work to get it mold-free. Gutting and rebuilding can be therapeutic and the results can be better than what you have. I wouldn't get rid of it, those older Dodge vans were durable and easy to repair.
