At my home I have a modern low impact toilet. I do not know if the weight would be prohibitive, but it has got to be loads lighter than an old style ceramic stool. I think it is all a trade off for what is important to you. My next standy will have two things inside, a full size inner spring mattress and a full size shower, plus some storage, that's it. I toss out the kitchen and dinette, which I would never use which provides me an even size and weight exchange. Point is, you don't have to take the drag strip approach of doing as little and small as possible, just because something might weigh 25lbs doesn't mean you can't use it, just use good balance with the axle and maybe put the AC on the other side.
I rented a NEW camper a couple months ago and refused to use the shower or bathroom in it and just used the park facilities because the camper bath was simply tiny and annoying, camping is supposed to be fun and enjoyable not a hassle, so design it to be just that for you!
