maybe I'm a little confused by your question, or explanation in your response, but the reason that you can't just 'power' one of the roof air conditioners on a 50amp coach via 'another' power source is that you are effectively then removing it from the primary power sources - the 50amp Main Panel circuit breakers via shore power or the generator.
The reason is, you can't have 'two' power sources for the same appliance without an additional ATS( Auto transfer switch) dedicated solely for that appliance, or some way to 'unplug' from one source and 'plug into' another one - not an easy task, and why most of us use an ADAPTER, to make use of a 30amp and 20amp outlet, to simply this situation.
