As always, it depends most on what is important to you, and secondly, what you have room and budget for.
Our take on it, is that anything we can get in the van that is a step up from a tent, is a luxury. So never being used to having hot water, not having it is no loss, and being SWB we don't have room anyway. We don't have a fridge either, fitting a passive cool box instead.
No heating either - thermal underwear is much cheaper.
Loo, yes - one of the little Porta Potti type things. That really is a luxury.
As I say, we a going up in the world from a tent so our list of essentials is very small. If you are going down the scale from hotels or caravans, I can imagine your list of "must haves" would be a lot longer.
