There is usually a folder with all of the component manuals and other random information. I think our Dodge had the original manufacturers window sticker included.

Hopefully you can figure it out. Perhaps you could go find an entire harness and PCM out of another van with similar options to limp it home? Worst worst case you would need to install an...

I would have the shop go through the grounding on the van to see if they removed any. There will be a...

I'm surprised they wouldn't include a DC connector. Your fastest remedy would be to use an inverter.

It's probably a Phoenix faucet with a vacuum breaker instead of a spud. Take some measurements of the fitting spacing to confirm that it isn't a residential unit.

What year van? My 1991 and 2004 only had residential carpet installed from Roadtrek. You should be able to remove the seats, yank out the carpet, and use it as templates.
