The school bus option is interesting. That would be a good option for electric drivetrain.
Even in rural areas, most bus routes are capped at around an hour, so even a 60 mile range gives you sufficient capacity. Then the bus goes back to a yard where it can be plugged in to top up before the next run. If you are worried about longer range field trips, keep 5-10% of the fleet as diesel to cover that need.
With operating ranges topping out (with the extra large battery pack) at around 200 miles, use as an RV seems pretty questionable.
