You need to be aware that unless the generator and air conditioner circuits are completely isolated from the pedestal, electrically, what you are proposing to do will destroy the generator. We are talking explode in flames destroy. And they simply don't come from the factory wired that way.
It is a whole bunch less expensive to have the house/garage wired with a proper 30 amp, 120 volt outlet than it is to attempt to take the air conditioner off the pedestal and hook it up to the generator ONLY. And that is not even counting running costs for the generator.
If you do this, be sure that the electrician who does the wiring knows that the 30 amp outlet is NOT TO BE 240 volt, but 120 volt, lest you burn out every circuit and device in the RV.
