Borrowing a bus?

Hi!
My and friends and I are putting together a summer road trip that is project based. My personal project is exploring regional water issues, but we'd like to set it up so that other people could join in and execute other projects. To do this, it seemed like a small bus would be the best vehicle!
I'm currently looking for a bus to either rent or buy, but because I am only looking for something short term, what I really to do is BORROW. It seems like buying a bus was inappropriate for a 5-6 week project.

I'm looking for advice / recommendations / if anyone has a bus that they think needs to be driven in June!
Please let me know, price is totally negotiable and I'm open to any suggestions or ideas.

- Kate

You can borrow my GF but you sure as hell can't borrow my bus.

Check out Cruise America and Camping World. Rent yourself an Rv or buy a bus like this http://savannah.craigslist.org/rvs/4479279380.html. You will come out ahead buying one like that and rough finishing then reselling rather than renting. There was a coach conversion company that would rent out the band style 8 bunk buses. Be prepared to put down a large deposit, hire a cdl driver, a million in insurance and pay by the mile and a monthly rate.

I'd like to borrow a yacht and a waterfront house to dock it and party in!

Don't forget the womens too. And, and, don't forget the food and booze. It would seem inappropriate to buy them because I'm a freeloader.
