Particularly, when you need a semi truck to tow it anywhere and the probability of having to tow it a very long distance once it breaks down is very high.

5 years ago I did a trip across America on a Honda Rebel 250 (Honda's don't break down from reputation) and on the interstate with a windshield that thing managed 50-55 mpg. That school bus probably gets 6-8 cruising at anything acceptable on the interstate.
Plus, girls that know nothing of mechanics, are easy prey for scumbag hammer mechanics.
You can sleep in the bus, but it's not a good place to live if you want to maintain any kind of decent hygiene.
Also, a bus is large enough that it's not something you can just tuck away like a compact car. Every trip will eventually become a burdensome decision that will force them to think whether it's possible or not.
