Found this add on Ebay today. Click on the link and scroll down to the description of the type of travel the bus was used for?

If I can see visible rust in a picture in the center cargo bay, I don't even want to look at the rear wall of the rear cargo bay. |

Considering the floor of the bay is covered in aluminum and the bulkheads have aluminum panels, it's more likely what you sees is the contrast between what may have been a painted floor and the scratched surface.
Areas which are important to check include the front and rear air beams which are mild steel and the passenger floor bracing.
The air beams are not completely visible and can be susceptible to pinholes. If there is significant corrosion elesehwere it might to best to pass on this one.
Other areas to check are below the windshield and over the engine (cooling blower area). Look for straightness of the aluminum panels below the passenger windows and for signs of water leaks within the bus. Distortion or bowing may be a sign of corrosion in the walls. Another sign may be windows that are difficult to push out from the bootom when the emergency exit bars are operated.
