It's not that big a deal - you do have to worry about the breaker connection in a hot main panel box but that is a minor concern if you have ever done it before. The wiring and connection to the RV plug box is very straight forward. It does hit an electrician a little strange to be hooking up a 120VAC 30 amp plug but a little prep on your part will go a long way. First off, if I were to hire an electrician, I would buy all the parts myself. A 30 amp breaker that is designed to fit in your supply panel box - that info is available in your box, a length of 10/2 wire for up to 50 feet of cable length (larger if longer) and the weatherproof RV box/outlet found at Home Depot or Lowes in the electrical section - just ask they will find it for you. This leaves any questions the electrician may have completely out of the install deal - he uses your stuff. Parts ran me about $50.
