It like a caravan? or a van van?

If it is a caravan its got really heavy seats in the middle and back. Those can go lol. That front right seat can go too. Make your passenger sit on a bucket. . .

If you have to replace the springs/shocks lowering it would be a good idea.

If you have solar panels available your roof is pretty flat and an excellent way to cancel out your alternator during the day(and maybe eventually add a few batteries and straight up delete it).

Rear wheel skirts would definitely benefit.

I am gambling you need the rear door for work. If you don't need that big sliding side door you could replace it with coroplast or plywood even and reduce some substantial weight off the car(could glue some lexan in place of the old window so you can still see out).

Can always rip out the compressor for the ac, the belts and the cooling radiator for the refrigerant(would also allow more cooling for your auto trans enhancing its lifetime, if you really wanted to you could replace the refrigerant radiator for a water/anti-freeze one for your trans(or just run the oil in the trans through the radiator and add a pump(simplest))).
