A bus should be able to make it anywhere a logging truck can, traction wise ?
Not a chance! Logging trucks have a very short effective wheelbase, because the trailer is stinger-steered, so the trailer tires track almost where the drivers do. But also logging trucks run aggressive drive tires. And logging trucks have inter-axle and differential locks. I'm not aware of any modern coach conversion with even tandem drivers. I don't think I've seen one with a diff lock.
I have rescued plenty of coaches from treacherous scenarios like "the front lawn" or "one tire slightly off the driveway." And sometimes we were able to use a MDT wrecker, but other time the 80-ton rotator was needed. Runs about $600/hr from when it leaves the shop until it returns. You'll have about zero chance at self-rescuing using an F150.
