I will admit the it's overall effectiveness may be somewhat restricted when the moving hot air attempts its final exit through the upper louver area (vs. a vertical roof exit), but IMO it's still in play.
Not sure if it's a temporary issue, but your link didn't work this morning (also tried www.rvmobile.com).
