Wow, just now reading your comments about deciding which bus to plan for, and everything you said sounds very similar to me! I'm a single female, some welding skills, some hack carpentry skills, can't decide coach bus or Skoolie and for the same reasons, and my name is Judy!
It scares the daylight savings out of me to think of Actually Buying A Bus, then Actually Gutting A Bus, then Actually Building A Motorhome out of it. Defeat and Despair await my first move. Reality is, though, I have exactly $0.00 saved for it, so I guess I'm safe so far.
So I just had to say howdy!
