Need help with Ford chassis info
I have a 1995 Jamboree C-Sport with a 460 engine and the badge on the cab says E-350. I want to change the engine oil and filter, the transmission oil and filter, change the engine coolant, and replac...

You are just going to collect more opinions. Here's mine.
I would follow the "severe duty" schedule for the E-250/350 van or F250/350 pickup of the same era (1992-1997).
Some service information (service intervals, fluid capacities and fluid specifications, part numbers for Ford filters) will be in the Owner's Manual for either series. You could work from a Haynes or Chilton, but the information there is pretty generic, typically covering all Ford vans from 1975 through either 1997 or 2014. I think only one of the two publishers split out a separate manual for the Triton engine model update.
You should have an Owner's Manual for the E-Series van, if you can find one. If looking for used, you don't need the exact model year, most information was unchanged 1992-1996. Chances are good that the chassis is 1994 model year, since Fleetwood would have started building 1995 models in February or March 1994, and Ford will not have made the model year change until September or October. That's just the way the RV industry has done things.
Your transmission will be E4OD because the engine is a 460. While Ford also used the FMX-derived AOD in that era, it was never matched up with the 7.3 diesel or 7.5 gas engines, those went from C-6 to E4OD sometime around 1989-90.
The E-350 should not have had auxilary oil or transmission coolers, the transmission was cooled by the heat exchanger in the radiator. Motorhome manufacturers did not usually add aftermarket coolers, but a prior owner may have, and that would add capacity but not necessarily change the amount drained for service, because they don't always drain fully from the plug in the pan.
