I have a friend who's on some hard times and living in an older HR pusher in a park. It sounds like his transfer switch has croaked. For a while he would lose power from the pole and it would on...

I might not being reading the plan right but here's what I would do.
What you want is a male plug that is wired to the coach AC breaker panel and them female plugs on the shore power cord and the cable coming from the generator. To switch the owner will need to unplug one and plug in the other. This will completely eliminate the slightest potential of bring the generator on line in parallel with shore power which won't end well for the coach owner. Also you want to avoid any potential of the blades of a male plug being energized when exposed.
And I feel your furlough pain. I work for the Coast Guard.
I think we've worked out another solution but to answer your question, my budget bandaid plan was to cutout the transfer switch and disconnect the generator. THen put a female 50amp outlet on hte generator.
The coach power cord would be direct to the CB panel and it would be plugged in to shore power or the generator.
