Coachmen has been building the smaller Cross Trek on 156-inch Transit chassis, and now upgraded to AWD with 3.5L EcoBoost. Previously it was RWD with 3.7L naturally-aspirated gas engine.
The Sunseeker TS (for Transit) has been building an extra narrow but longer motorhome on the 178-inch wheelbase. I have yet to see the newest Transit chassis, so wonder whether they are still being built. Floor plans are not very good in my opinion.
Ford could easily upgrade E-Series at lower end of GVWR to better compete with Sprinter and Transit, but won’t do it because as you say, the E-Series is on its way out.
