I was always told that Vaseline was good to stop this.

Re: battery terminal corrosion
Agreed ^^^ but to be honest the white corrosion doesn't usually prevent your battery from starting the van. Obviously it's best to clean and smear the Vaseline to prevent it, but my guess is your battery is poorly. Let "us" know if you need to know how to test it.
