Lighting a Tour Bus...

Ok so I've decided to stop hiding in the background of this forum and start asking some questions!

I just got a gig for a reality show rigging a camera with POV cameras as well as setting up the lighting.

My question for the experts is: What would be an efficient/cost effective way to light an entire tour bus? I'm assuming it's going to have to be a lightweight LED setup or something along those lines. If I had the time I'd rig up a custom light setup but with the time frame I was given (3 days) that's not really an option. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Can you clarify, what you mean by tour bus? Is it a regular over the road coach for passengers with 40 seats or a tricked out bus like a touring musical group would use, with tables, open spaces, benches and chairs? Does the bus have to move? Do you have to see out the windows? Is the camera always inside the bus? Is it day or night? What is the camera and how fast are the lenses?
 
Looks like we came up with a solution. Apparently we are fabricating an entire setup. Going to be a busy next few days! Haha.

And yes it's going to be a tour bus along the lines of a band bus. about 1/4 of it is going to be dedicated to production space though and won't need to be lit. It's going to be traveling across the US.
