Has your van spent time in dry weather or has it spent most of its life in humid areas?
If dry area, yea I'd get it replaced along with the water pump, bearings, etc.
If its been in a humid area, wait another year or two before replacing. Just replace the coolant now.
Belts tend to dry out and crack in dry environments and if you lived in death valley I'd have replaced it at 5 years. In humid areas near water they'll usually last well beyond the manufacture cycle.
