Is the bus going to move again?
If not you could put the burn chamber out side and
thread the riser through the bus to exit at the top with a small bell stratification chamber to extract the heat.
Do you have pictures and dimensions of the bus?
If the bus is guttable, then one could even imagine a Kang underfloor heater so you only lose vertical height and not horizontal space. And then cook outside in a tent with the waste heat heating your living space.
