Which Motability car for camping trips?

I'm almost due to start looking for a new Motability car and could use some recommendations. I have a Peugeot 207 1.4 Diesel that does 55mpg combined and 63mpg on long motorway runs, but it's too small now that we've started camping so I'm looking for something as economical (or better) but larger.

I was looking at the Fabia Greenline II Estate but I'm not too sure after reading reviews. I'm quite an economical driver (average 60mph on the motorway, not heavy on the accelerator or brake etc).
I don't really have a preference over hatchback/saloon/mpv etc.

Most driving is around town with 2-3 30mile or so Motorway trips a month, plus some long trips a few times a year.

For your driving pattern I don't recommend a diesel and that will mean some sacrifice in fuel economy for the sake of reliability. A Skoda Roomster 1.2TSI would make more sense to me than a Fabia.
