Most electricians do not know what a 30A RV receptacle is and think it should be wired the same as for a welder!
I don't know about the incidents that you quote but as this goes along farther it gets even more unbelievable.
The 30 Amp receptacle has 3 conductors, right ??
And a 220 receptacle has 4 conductors, right (hot, hot, neutral and ground) ??
If the "electrician" runs two hots (4 wires) to a 3 conductor receptacle.....where does he connect the 4th wire ??? Or which of the remaining two conductors does he connect to the one remaining lug ??
I can see a rank amateur screwing this up but not a real electrician.
