Aaron,

I'm with Rick; your solution needn't be too complicated; the Coachmen
should have had separated Neutral and Ground busses.

As for the switching, I'm not sure ordinary 50A Automatic Transfer Switches
will recognize the 30A plugs you intend to use. Further, there complexity
and cost are not justified. Here's DIY version of a 30A transfer I've
used, without attention, for the past 19 years:

It's simply wired; in fact, mine's in excess space inside my replaced
circuit breaker panel (that's probably not Kosher, 'tho').

Your proposed 2nd A/C solution is certainly workable, but in the past when
working on 30A service coaches, I've just added a separate 15A CB box and
line cord for the 2nd A/C.
