Dual batteries standard in 2018 BC w/ solar???

I am new to forum this week and it . I just picked up my 2018 BC last week. I pulled it home and parked it just in time to get 4" of snow dumped on it and another 2-4" tonight. When we ordered it last fall the salesman said that there is room to install a second battery which I planned on doing. Upon delivery he told me that AS now adds the second AGM battery as part of the solar package. I have not had time to dig my way into the trailer to check it out yet. Can anyone verified that this is a true statement?

The 2nd battery is part of the 'fix' for the fridge not working in warmer temps.

After several trips with our '17 and just 1 battery I believe the 2nd is needed just for normal operation. With 1 battery we rely on solar charged lanterns for light at night.

Thank you very much, that answered my question. Up to this point I had only made it through the first 10 pages of the fridge thread. Now that I got all the way through it makes sense.
