Hi, you will need to measure the height of the awning fixed onto your van first. Most driveway awnings come as either low, mid or hi for VW type vans upto motorhomes. This one says multi height so one would assume it will fit a variety of heights but if you go to its max height not sure how the connecting tunnel will sit against the van/ground and you may well end up with a draughty gap at ground level.
You would also need bear in mind weight of it plus weight of any annexe as its a heavy beast with regards to payload in a PVC.
Can you go see one in the flesh on display somewhere to do some measuring?

I'd double check the dimensions on the annex, I've got one (not sure it's exactly the same model as a few years old, and on a caravan awning) but mine's NOT big enough to be an adult sized bedroom, despite having an inner bedroom liner!
As mentioned, check your payload capacity, these awnings are heavy! - combined weight of awning and annex around 43Kg! AND they are bulky, taking a fair bit of stowage space.
