Did you pull both rear wheels off to look and compare both sides pad remaining? Maybe it's time to replace both rears with new pads. The pads on the rear aren't very big in surface area and when used to stop such a heavy vehicle, the can wear much quicker than a regular sedan.
Usually if the 2 pads on a wheel is wearing unevenly, that would mean the slider pins are not moving smoothly or the metal backplane of your pads could be stuck. You did verify the caliper is not stuck, so that's a good sign. It could be the pads and sliders needing some cleaning and lube.
Hopefully the worn down pads didn't gouge the rotors and do any damage. If it did, you will want it machined or replaced. I think your van just need new rear pads and make sure you clean and lube all the necessary moving brake parts.
