I thought about installing electric fans that blow forward for a while after getting to the campground to minimize the heat soak of the engine into the interior.

I like this - and don't see a reason why you couldn't set them up to go both ways (by reversing the polarity when you turn off the ignition).

I think I'll look at how I can improve the air flow through my radiator to see if I can minimize the amount of time my fan clutch is engaged (I'd guess 20-25% of the time when it's 90 degrees out, and I'm at highway speed). I suspect it's probably already fairly good, with baffles on both sides of the radiator, and Ragusa "shark gills" on both front fenders, but I'm sure there are ways to get more air through there even so.
