Gotta have to second on that. With a low-floor urban transit bus, if you raise some section of the floor you'll retain some clearance to fit the water tanks. I've already considered to do a similar project. Eventually, you could also carry a small scooter for those city errands and store it inside the bus at night

Anyway, look at this old Ford F-350 motorhome from Argentina

Sure its aerodynamics are not the best, but might be similar to what you were considering to do.
