Be very sure to check EVERY and ALL electric systems and equipment in your rig for damage. Make him pay for any and all damages. If he refuses get his license # and call the building department licensing dept. He must have a license # to be in business. He must have liability insurance. He is an idiot.
When he is finished call an RV tech and have things checked out.

Thank you. This gave me confidence to talk to my roommate who has experience using multi-meters on 120/220 outlets, we went out and test it directly... 240amps (oops, meant volts!) was found.
We're going to follow your advice directly.
Obviously, we're super disappointed in our electrician and will hold them accountable.
