Rather than lose $10-15k in selling your van, isn't there a protected parking spot or tall storage unit you can rent? Buy a $1500 Toyota that is your commute car from the parking spot to home each day.
Or excavate your garage floor to make it 3' taller?
The place where I have a storage unit has several parking spaces in it that have tradespeople's vans and some heavier trucks parked in them.
Parking is in the center of a cluster of buildings, one way in/out through a gate, owners of the storage place live on site and there are a lot of security cams.
Perhaps look for something like that nearby.
Hearing stuff like this makes me glad I live where I do. My driveway is 300' long and you cannot see my house or parking area from the street. I could park a semi in my driveway and nobody would say anything.
