Unfortunately, nothing fits this weird opening.  For ventilation, check out
the E+B marine catalogue.  They offer a number of powered and non-powered
vents that only require a 4 to 6 inch hole.  Some are even solar powered
requiring no wiring and can provide air flow while van is in storage.  Great
for helping the fridge keep cool when the van is locked during the day.
Most are designed to be open all the time and remain rain tight while open.
