No it`s not! when I bought my trailer it was missing the bar stools. they told me they probably eliminated those. I showed them the list of standard items where "bar stools" were listed. they tried pulling the same thing the OP is posting about. then we went into another model and there were bar stools. so they had nothing to say.

Sorry to say but that little note at the bottom of a brochure about "specifications subject to change" is a way for a manuf. to get out of putting in certain features and still charging the same amount!

Surely you don't believe everything you see in advertising!

For the time & effort that you have spent trying to get reimbursed you could bought the switch, installed it yourself & been done with it.

I bought a new 2014 Winnebago. Winnebago's on line ad indicated that it had a "Battery disconnect system (chassis and coach)". I called Winnebago after I had battery discharge problems and advised I could not locate the chassis disconnect and was advised that my model Motorhome did not come with the chassis disconnect. I asked about their ad and was told he did not know about it (and was not going to check it out).

I had a disconnect installed and wrote to Winnegago and asked for reimbursement, once again they said my model did not come with one (no mention of their on line ad) and no payment.

I wrote to Motorhome magazine's Hot Line requesting help in getting reimbursed. Hot Line wrote back indicating since Winnebago wrote back Hot Line was closing their file (no mention of Winebago's ad). Winnebago has since change it ad for the 2014 Vista and it noteable excludes my model and one other model, but still no payment.

I'll go out on a real limb here and make these dogmatic comments in support of the OP: "An RV should not be sold without a coach battery main disconnect switch. Having this switch is not a matter of "specification" ... having this capability is in the same category as the RV having wheels." :S
