When the vehicle is running, it's the charging system that should carry the load, not the battery. If the charging system can't handle it, it will drain the battery.
If battery has a full charge, check the battery connections. Use a testlight and follow the voltage. Check the fuse circuits in the fuse box. Some fuse circuits are hot all the time, some go hot with the key on. I can't tell if you have fusible links w/o more info.

Check all battery cells to see if specific gravity in each cell is nearly the same. Check charging voltage (about 14 volts). Make sure something is not left on.
if this is a diesel, make sure that snow and ice have not built up around the fuel pump on the chassis rail this will freeze the fuel and stop fuel getting to engine
REPLACE BATTERY CABLES SEE WHAT HAPPENS.YOUR BATTERY CABLES IS OLD HAVE A LOTS OF RESISTANCE IN THEM.MAKE SURE YOUR GETTING THE RIGHT AMP ALTERNATOR.BECAUSE A LOWER AMP ALTERNATOR WILL OVER WORK TRYING TO KEEP BATTERY CHARGE THAT WILL SHORTING ITS LIFE.CALL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP PARTS DEPARTMENT ASK THEM LOOK UP WHAT AMP ALTERNATOR YOUR VAN USES MORE LIKELY 105 AMPS.
if you do it do it at the dealer that you got it from so it wont void the warranty. that way you keep it in place and they can also tell you the specifications as to what you need to do ,if anything to the front of the truck
I believe I can help you. There are a few things to check.
First, are you running the plow a lot when you're having these problems? If so, you MAY need to install a second battery designated for just using the plow with it's own alternator. Hydraulic pumps use a lot of electricity to run.
Second, there may be a short in your electrical system, try installing a battery disconnect and disconnect the battery every time you shut the truck off for extended periods of time (more than a day).
Finally, check the voltage regulator (or have a shop look at it). If it is not working properly, the batteries may not re-charge correctly. The cheapest way to solve the problem is with a battery disconnect, but it may get annoying after a while, especially if you forget to disconnect it and your battery goes dead. Finding a short in an electrical system is a long and tedious process that may not always solve the problem. And installing a second battery and alternator for the plow can get expensive.
I hope I could help you with your problem and good luck.
