A much much smaller ground plane will work and give you more options. A simple 6 inch diameter is more than enough as mentioned.
For routing you are dealing with finding power for the cradle and the coax of course. Think outside of the box. Perhaps drilling a small hole under or along the back edge of the refer and working your coax up the back side and out the vent is a possibility. If your roof is not metal you can experiment putting the antenna on a metal pie pan or baking pan and place that inside a cabinet. Just experiment to find your best signal choice. If you can find the actual signal strength in db on your phone you will have an easier time experimenting.
You can get a suction cup holder for the magnetic antenna and just stick it to a window. Doing this will allow you to move it to your truck easily. The mount came with my purchase.
In any case, you will be very happy with the Sleek.
