If you could post some images of the rusted area, people can advise with a good route to take

Re: Full rear arch panel or rear wheel arch replacement
Don't bother with the big thin floppy things.Why cut the side of your van off if it's not rusty? It might seem like a lot of work but replacing as built will do a much better job and is far more satisfying. Use the BBT? magnum archs and repair around as necessary. And go slow!!
