My 2p.
Get an estate, like a Passat or Superb,
with a roof box.
Use the roof box to store all the camping equipment in one place when not on your car. I'd argue that on camping trips having your kit in a separate storage area is superior anyway.
The Passat drives and parks surprisingly easily / similar to a Golf. Seems safe to assume the Skoda will too. The boots are fucking massive.
However, if you want a T5/6 just because. Get one. Although they're expensive and not good vfm upfront they hold there value.
Petrol though for any of these cars 5yo and 2nd hand will be tricky.
