We had much of what you did but when we went camping for first time last year didnt have hookup and managed fine. Our coolbox was just a normal one and kept things cold for a good few days with some ice packs in. We didnt have a portable toilet but the place we went their toilets were a state and our tent does have a back and front porch so room for a portable toilet and I think Ill take one next time as it saves midnight trips into the cold to go to a filthy toilet.

Also have you considered a tent carpet. Our main area when lounging was much nicer with a tent carpet. Only for the main area, not for the bedrooms.

For lights we just had this cheap £15 one which was good http://www.grasshopperleisure.co.uk/gelert-12-led-wind-up-mini-lantern-with-mains-plug-1736-p.asp

It might be worth getting a couple of large tarps. One for your tent to go on and one for outside or to hang if you need to put tent up in the rain.
