I understand your predicament. There are at least 3 ways of attaching the awning to a van. However, as you say the distance you have, and the fabric of the awning tunnel can become a tear waiting to happen. Instead of the figure of 8 and kador webbing (the normal method of attachement) I would look at pictures to get the idea of what I will try to describe. Unfortunately this would be very expensive, but so are drive away awnings, which do need protecting as you are aware.
Fiamma do an awning in its own rigid case. They are called rollout awnings. They just offer shade. You can get sides for them as well. These are very expensive.
Fiamma also do a soft shell case, similar to the roll out, but I believe this also could be an accident waiting to happen.
Back to the Fiamma roll out now...There are different case designs. Some point upwards rather than horizontally 'out' from the van. I imagine you could struggle to get an empty case. It would be an expensive purchase to remove the actual fabric within. Take a look at any of the the vans in dealers etc. Also Caravans now have them instead of attaching a regular awning.
Have you thought about any stand alone shelter, wind and rain proof models are out there. No rule states you must attach it to your van. It could save a heap of cash and provide the extra space you require.
All drive away awnings are designed to stand alone. They command a higher price , just because they have the connecting tunnel to attach to a vehicle. It does not make them better. We have 2 'drive aways', we very rarely attach them to our van.
Take a look at Vango Hex Hubs. Very good size, very good windows, and all windows have attached blackouts. Loads of similar items on line.
