If you can't find a local welder you could try trailering it further afield. There are bodyshops that will do this kind of work if money is no problem. You should get some offers if you can get the van to them.

Post your failure list and maybe some pics to get an idea of the work that is needed.

Good idea! When I tried to get my van welded a lot of places wouldn't take on the full job, it tied up too much space and time, ha! Bodyshops want quick turnaround and profit! If you can get a few places to do different parts, wings, sills, steps etc and take it away on a trailer when possible you may get it done for spring.
See if you can find a tv series about a vw campervan rebuild, very enlightening.
