I fully support Redbakk's advice. Also buy pre-loved not new as most people find what they get first doesn't really suit and want something different after the first long trip. When going out with a hired rig - spend time looking at what everyone has and talk to them about their likes and dislikes.
A bathroom was not a priority when looking for our van as we managed before camping without such 'luxuries'. It has one anyway and i wouldn't like to be without now. Ours is a small combined unit, and we only use the
toilet if we really have to.
To conserve water, showering is a quick rinse down, rub with soap and flannel, then a quick rinse off. We still have our plastic camping tub to stand in and collect the water while showering. More often than not, it is simpler instead of heating up the whole HWS tank for a quick shower, to boil a kettle and put a bit of water in
the tub and just wash in that. Uses next to no water and gets you just as clean. A small combined bathroom is adequate for showering and 'bathing'.
