One question, do these cassette toilets rotate at all? Or would one have to either sit scrunched up like a squashed spider, or have to ride "side saddle"? Apologies for the unwanted imagery... 
As for TV, I wonder if I can get some kind of fold up bracket to hang beneath the cupboards on one side?

Firstly the toilet. I looked at all sorts of vans/layouts when researching (I took well over a year and looked at a LOT of vans), I came to the conclusion that most side/corner bathrooms (often compact layout with shower over toilet/basin and/or flip down basins etc. were not just a tad claustrophobic, but I really didn't fit in them very well (I'm a big bloke) and (simulated!) using them proved they were uncomfortable and I was literally banging into much of the structure! Decision made, a decent sized end bathroom with proper separate shower cubical it had to be. The more modern toilets do swivel the whole basin/seat, so you can find a comfortable position IF the room is big enough, but the 'bench' style are fixed seat. Another 'feature' I didn't like in the compact bathrooms was the shower curtain designed to limit how much shower water splashed EVERYWHERE! They tend to stick to you and 'shrink wrap' you in my experience. Another big down for me was that if you use the shower, the toilet floor (and much else!) is then wet for ages afterwards, OR you have a big clean up/drying job! To be fair, I did go into it with every intention of using my on-board facilities all the time, not just if no site facilities.
TV. Many vans are already fitted as standard with a adjustable TV mounting arm that extends and rotates a considerable amount, if not fitted, can be bought as an accessory (but finding a suitable mounting point requires thought, it needs a robust wall/partition/cabinet and/or maybe reinforcement - caravans are very thin and lightweight construction!). Generally wise to remove TV during travel and stow safely if it's a largish/heavyish one, most brackets feature a simple slip on/off TV mount, but also retract to a secured stow position.
