Solar Panel Rv Mounting

Can anyone give me approximate costs for converting an old school bus to an RV?
I want to convert an old diesel school bus to an RV. I have found many vehicles that fit the bill on ebay, and a few other places. I figure I’ll be paying $1,000-3,000 for the vehicle itself. I was wondering if anyone who has done this before, or knows someone who has, might be able to give me approximate costs. I want to mount solar panels on the roof. I will be doing most of the work myself, and have people to help me, so I will not be paying anyone for labor. I want to put in a sink, toilet and shower (and all the necessary equipment like water tank and heater, etc), build in some bunk beds and put in a propane heater and stove, a refrigerator and so forth. I have found different info on different websites that range anywhere from about 10,000 to 40,000. While I want all the necessaries, the idea is to do it as economical as possible. If anyone could give me a more narrow range it would be greatly appreciated.
Who can tell? There’s too much to figure. Things usually cost more when time comes to getting the work done.
Maybe you should consider another route.
