Here is a bus that's already been converted.
Going the school bus route doesn't mean that you have to do the work yourself...the one listed above is a diesel with only 200k miles and at $7500 within your budget with NO payment. I would look for more listings like this, this is going to be your best bet to sleep 8, carry gear, and stay within your budget.
And if you ever stop touring you would probably get 90% of your money back out of it.
Check also the Sell-a-Bus website, lots of older buses with lots of mechanical life left in them that have been camping-converted by the previous owners. Look for one with the most bunks...
