Four pages of BS already. To the OP. If your electrician is not familiar with rv wiring just tell him to install a standard 4 prong 50 amp 240 volt electric range receptacle. You are good to go.

If you have a 240v device such as a clothes dryer you would have 50 amps @240v available for it using a correctly wired receptacle for it in the rv.
