Rob,
Your choice of coaches will be very limited if you want all steel, even Blue Bird used Alu-a-bond a panel type aluminum skin. I do not think there is a real steel coach out there, Prevost ElMirage is now Fiberglas and Stainless Steel.
Good Luck you might have to buy a school bus.
I hear ya John, that's why I bought an older Wanderlodge. It isn't all steel but hopefully enough. The end caps are fiberglass with the front one being over a steel cage. The bay doors are aluminum skins over a steel substructure. The rest of the body cladding is steel with two layers on the roof. I wouldn't want to but it's nice to know that upside down the roof will support the entire weight of the coach.
