I would rather have a sunroof - and I was thinking of putting in tinted
glass sunroof/popup-vents on either side of my my ac duct in the rear - SFC
(Stretch Forming Corporation) makes two different sizes: 17x17 or 17x14.....
then I could just pop them up when parked for ventilation -  a lot quieter
than any fan - and heat always rises - I'd give you their web site so you
could check out the pictures but I can't find their web site - maybe they
took it down - or were bought out... --- And I'm still not sure if the
slight slope of the vanagon top would cause a problem for installation - but
these sunroof (minivents) that I'm refering to looked like the best for the
job when I searching via the net...
