I recall oh, around 5 - 10 years ago.. Hardly a week went by without another of these threads on at least one of the forums I frequent.
IF YOU TOLD THE electrician this was for an RV.. If the work order mentioned an RV.. You may have rights which vary from state to state so you might want to have a chat with either the electrician (TT-30 outlets are clearly marked 125 volts max) or a product liability attorney.
Also, A true story from another forum.
RVer plugs into a 30 amp outlet at his buddy's house.. NO POWER TO COACH. it's late, he posts on the forum and goes to bed.
Next AM he goes out and investigates,, Looks at his portable Surge Guard Power Protector and it says 240 VOLTS right there on it's display.. Yup same thing you did but in his case the SURGE GUARD/POWER PROTECTOR/ device saved the day.
HE unplugged, pl.ugged in elsewhere and posted to the forum that the problem was solved and what it was.
Normally.. Folks who do that are too embarrassed to post.... but in his case.. Well. He let the cat out of the bag as it were.
I'm sure for every story like that which gets posted thare are many which do not.
In my case.. I've not (yet) made that mistake (only had one chance and did not know it till I knew better so did not do it)
(Parked at a Moose Lodge.. Governor ask if I had found the 60 amp outlet (NO but I had found the breakers feeding it so I knew it was 240 volt,, 30 amp outlets have a single breaker, not a pair ganged). I found it like 2 days later but of course knew it was 240 volt).
In my case since I broke down here I've had like 5 times power has failed for like 1 second.. This tears up air conditioners.
The surge protector I have holds power off for just shy of 3 minutes.. add to that the lag time for the A/C restarting and you have a full 3 minutes of OFF time for the compressor.. THis is the recommended minimum off time to prevent the compressor from trying to re-start under load (Something that is very damaging to it) .... I kind o like that it does that.
