Ok, let's figure out how this happened.
So, the OP most likely had to use a dogbone to convert from his 50a plug to a 30a. Then that must mean that one leg of the 30a socket was wired for 240. Is that *ever* done in a home outlet, for any reason?
Yes, It is.
There are numerous electric dryers that use a 6-30 (230V-30A) receptacle.
I'm in line with the others. If OP stated he wanted a 30amp RV receptacle and the electrician wired in a TT-30 that fit his dogbone, then Electrician Blew It.

Matt, you're right about getting an outlet with 230 volt, but that is ALWAYS the sum of TWO legs, not one. There is no way to put 240 volts of power on one leg in a home.
