One builder on the RV list said he got a big improvement in cooling by installing VGs on the trailing edge of the cooling outlet. This is so non-intuitive that I can't imagine why it would work but its so easy to try I might have to do it while scratching my head.

Vortex generators generate vortexes. Spinning part of the airflow causing it to travel a greater distance in the same time as surounding flow, So, higher velocity, So, lower pressure (Bernoulli). The pressure differential between the inside of the cowl and the exit is increased.
