Okay I'm going to stick my nose in here and offer a suggestion. It is just my opinion and I don't like to just give unsolicited information, BUT, here goes;
Make sure that the electrician buys and installs an RV outlet enclosure with a disconnect switch. There are 30 amp, 50 amp, 30/50amp,and 15/30/50amp enclosures, get whatever you want, just get one with the disconnect in the enclosure.
It is hard on the blades of the plug on your shoreline and on the contacts in the socket when you plug in under load and eventually it will cause damage that will result in a high resistance connection.
Circuit Breakers that are "S" rated are expensive and all other are not appropriate for switching on and off.
I didn't do this and until I get time to add a disconnect switch and enclosure at my 30amp service, I have to turn the breaker off and it is around the other side of the house, dumb installing electrician.
