Well, buried in with LOTS of off-topic responses, someone gave me some very good insight. I confess to taking the "sales" person's statements as truth. Are the sales people more interested in selling the in-stock unit (with residential fridge) than they are with meeting the customer's needs?
First, Tiffin is putting 2 @ 6V batteries into the Alegro 32SA. That is better than 12V (I think). Second, the residential fridge is OPTIONAL on this model. So, I can get it with the good old propane/12V fridge.
Thank you for the on-topic comments
