Best bet is to remove the Coleman and get back you vent opening like we

You may have to put in a Fantastic fan or equiv if the prior owner
didn't save the old vent/hardware.
Another option is a 12v RV Evaporative Cooler (http://www.metrorv.com),
but they need a good battery & solar system with their 3 Amps draw on
low speed.
