John;
        Are you perhaps grounding the radio's output inadvertently? Are
you using the Vanagon's stock wiring to the rear speakers? These share a
wire that maybe is not tolerable by your unit. Does the unit have a good
ground? What is the system voltage?
        In my youth I installed a stereo that, as it turn out, was only
grounded by the base of the antenna. When I stopped it leaned forward and
the radio would die. When I went fast the wind blew it back and the
radio screamed to life! Not that this could be your problem but I thought
it would cheer you up. #;-/

Drive Safely & Good Luck
