Confirming electrical set up
I’ve got a Minnie Winnie 22m. I’m having the electrician hook up a 30 amp plug. I just want to confirm that it’s 125 volt. While the electrician feels certain I want to double check here

Show these drawings to your electrician... He will understand it... I would also hope he is a licensed guy with Insurance. If he ends throwing 240V at you in the wrong spot and burns up a bunch of things then his insurance will pay for it. If it is your friend or father-in-law etc... guess who gets to pay for it...

Are you sure you only need the 30A service? Check your shore power cable connector to see if will plug into the sockets shown here for 30A system setup... For some reason I have always thought the motorhomes were mostly 50A Service requirement...

Also check with your surge protector setup if you have one. Some have that built-in to their house setup. I don't use one on my simple off-road setup but have read this may not fit well into your house pedestal setup...
Don't let your Electical friend install anything based from 'his house wiring' experience. This is for RV's and there is a slight difference.
NOTE: DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR RV SHORE POWER CABLE until you read exactly what is shown using the multimeter chart readings. It can get expensive in a instant.
