My old trailer had an upper side exhaust like yours, but no baffle.
When things got hot outside, a vent van would start up to improve air flow within the compartment.
If I removed the outer plastic vent molding/cover the fan would usually stop (unless it was really hot). Ended up doing that a lot when boon-docking.
I also was able to pack in more insulation around the frig, especially on top. And put in a curved piece of sheet Al to help direct the air flow to the vent and away from dead space on top.
