I own a transit bus. Basically your desire to travel across the country is perhaps the biggest factor in which type of coach to purchase. Those kind of long hauls really push you towards an intercity not transit style coach. My bus is fine for a couple hundred miles without too much concern for fuel economy and so forth. Cross country with hills and such would be another story.
I was able to get a great bus for less than $1,000 dollars and I have learned how to do things. If the bus went away today I have learned enough to advance to the "big boys" buses. My next bus will be the traditional intercity with large bays and a raised roof.
Actually, I think your budget, your preference for style and your tolerance for breakdowns is also a serious consideration. Transit style buses are "workhorse" and designed to take a beating and keep on running.
Good luck!
