Wow! Hard decisions. I suppose that's why I have a Travel Trailer :) ...
Your choice REALLY depends upon your own want's. Personally, I think renovating a school bus would be a LOT of fun and the end results can be as glamorous as a million dollar motor home the Hollywood stars own. It's all a matter of how much you want to put into it. However, to do it correctly, you will probably end up investing as much or more than that CLASS-A motor home.
I honestly don't ever remember seeing a school bus at any campground I've visited in the last 30 years of camping. But when I was a kid (in the middle 1960's) it was very common. It REALLY all depends upon what type of camping you want to do.
I do know, others successfully transport young children in CLASS A's and CLASS C' with no problem. And I'm sure someone will post here how they do it. All will be good suggestions.
I know, this does not answer your questions, but it really does boil down to your own preference, your construction abilities, the amount of time you can invest into any one of these 3 options, your finances available for each project, and the type of camping you plan to do.
