Not sure I get this and there should be a relay of sorts somewhere and even if your rig doesn't use a transfer switch for powering the rear ac from either the genset or shore power.
Simply spitting this 20amp rear ac genset circuit by using a 20amp plug and receptacle, will allow one the option of plugging into a separate pedestal circuit and thus freeing up the full 30amps for the rest of the coach. It's called a dual power adapter and there used to be a company out there that coined the term and sold a kit of hardware items, along with the instructions to go with it.
What you have shown, looks pretty elaborate and seemingly unnecessary. On the other hand, I really don't know what you have there without doing an evaluation of my own.
Also, on second thought, I did have an old coach at one time, with an inside switch for choosing the front or rear ac, but still could be wired as I've explained and as long as the genset has a 20amp breaker for solely feeding the rear ac.
