The original fan is trying to draw air from the floor area inside the van, up the back over the cooling fins, and out both the grill you mention and the grill across the back of the stove/sink unit. That puts the hot air right back into the van. The idea of the exhaust fan mounted in the city water inlet is to get the hot air out of the van. I've tried a fan on the gill over the cabinets and found no apparent difference in performance. Those that have added the exhaust fan to the outside have reported improved cooling especially when the ambient temperature is high.
