The right bed is important - although singles v doubles can often be changed to suit your needs. You need a comfortable bed.
Unless you are full time on the road, you can manage without an oven. I rarely use
mine, but it is handy to have.
If you're living in it - you will no doubt want a telly. We put one into our caravan and don't use it. We are having too much fun enjoying the big picture of Australia through the windscreen. Without going to the effort of satellite television, most
places we bush or national park
camp wouldn't have a signal anyway. We also put in a DVD player, but we only ever watched a couple of DVDs year before last one very cold and windy day.
Bathroom was not a priority when we looked for ours as we hadn't had one in tent or camper, but the small shower/
toilet we have is certainly a bonus and i wouldn't like to be without now. However depending on whether you do all
bush camping, caravan parks, or some if each, you can be comfortable with a portable
toilet and a shower/
toilet tent. Gee I bet you didn't have an en suite in your tent but you managed. Having your own opens up more
places that you can
camp.
22' is a BIG outfit. We have 18' internal and have heaps of room for two. If living full time in it we'd go to 20', but no bigger; too restrictive of where you can go and park. Again consider weight - not only of the caravan, but the bigger the van the more you can pack into it, and you'd be surprised how quickly the weight comes up.
