Just a bathtub. Our shower works well enough that I can live without it though. Beyond that, not a darn thing!!!

For me I miss mowing the yard, having to clean the rain gutters, gathering up the trash.... no wait a minute..... that's the stuff I don't miss!!

Seriously, there is nothing I miss that I can't do from my van, but there are a lot of things I would miss doing from my van, if I was stuck in a house. Cool

Having a garage where I can not fit my van but is full off my hobby gear and has a workshop.

I don't miss early wakeups by lawnmover man every second Wednesday morning. Also I do not miss my elderly neighbours who peek through the curtains.

Life is pretty sweet in my small camper and I have mates who have garages where I can work occasionally

I think I have the garage part sorted as I bought a new van,
It is Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 313 CDI. Big enough to have a small garage so I built one for my recumbent trike and other things. This means the bed is about 80 cm high. Not a problem as now I can extend the bed over kitchen cabinet, I am yet to built the cabinet but plans are made. Smile
