When we purchased our used 2017 Coachman Leprechaun Class C I failed to notice that we have to plug in the power cord into a receptacle every time after starting the generator. I didn't think of th...

I'd be afraid to use a pair of SPDT relays in place of a single DPDT. I can't draw a diagram to back the thought up, but it seems that if one relay "picked" and the other did not (say a coil failure), we could end up with problems.
As you deliberate this project, bear in mind there are entry level 30-Amp ATS units starting around $50.
If the genset is a recent model like ONAN 4KY, it won't supply AC to the ATS (or the coil in a home made one) until its logic board verifies it's good to go. So an ATS with its own power evaluation would be redundant.
