Although we don't have anything specifically designed for a Van, and RV roof vent would serve your purpose.

The Fan-Tastic 12V powered roof fan, part # FV803350 would be a good choice. The powered fan is reversible so it can be used to bring in fresh air or to exhaust hot air out. The fan features a thermostatically controlled 3 speed motor. The vent doesn't include a rain shield, but it does have a rain sensor that will close it automatically if rain begins to enter the vehicle.
