And I'll just say that 'paying an electrician' is NOT an end all be all guarantee for having the job done right.

I paid an 'electrician' once to put in a shore station for me while I was on the road......came back home late at night, pulled in, plugged in and BOOM...outlet wired for 220. :(

Maybe this is why the OP had the issue in the first place - check the license and insurance status of people you hire to do work at your residence and make sure they know what your plans are - I need a 50 amp RV power pole. If they don't know what that is or ask you questions, find someone who does know.
