In my experience lil wils, k30's etc don't like big ground planes. Seems weird but I always trouble getting good swrs on top of vans, minivans, suv's with these antennas. But stick them on a trunk of a small car and they worked fine. Maybe it was just me but I can recall running into that same prob lots of times.

On vans for mag mount I always useds a wilson 1000 or similar or ran a fender mount with a fiberglass or metal whip antenna (so I could take it into garages).

Big antennas on top of vans never gave me prob - coils, big whips always had good results.
