Stick some aerotex under it. Its a nonesense is all this groundsheet business. The only way you are going to keep a pitch half-healthy, is not have it covered, by anything, from time to time. Grass needs light and air, and its not going to get it even if a tent/awning had no groundsheet whatsoever. As there'd still be stuff all over it + the foot traffic.
Sites should have enough pitches to allow for this at peak times, its the only way to avoid yellowed sludgy patches all over.

Do campervan awnings have sewn in ground sheets? I've never seen one. If you mean the sleeping compartment hung inside the awning, they are ok, its the ground sheet in the main part of the awning that needs to be breathable.

Yes thats ok. The cheaper tunnel awnings don't have sewn in ground sheets but you can hang sleeping compartment inside.
