mystery of the missing refrigerator shelf

Got our new TT home 10 days ago and have been gradually getting acquainted with it. It's too cold overnight to camp yet (temps still in the low 20s and teens), so we're just in the process of putting our stuff in it, adding a few small mods (towel rack, etc.) and figuring out where things will go in it.

We noticed today - not sure why we didn't notice earlier - that one shelf in our fridge is missing. We have a Dometic 6-cu-ft with separate freezer door, and it's identical to the one that was in the TT we traded in for this one. For those of you acquainted with this model, the shelf in question is the one located below the shelf with a "cutout" section in it, and above the one on top of the drawers. I contacted the dealer about it and was told that "all the Rockwoods" on their lot (a total of 8 currently, she said) came that way. Seems kind of fishy to me, and weird. After our last contact (this was by email), DH found the parts page from the fridge manual, and the missing shelf is shown there, with a part number, so it certainly seems that none of these campers should be missing the shelf, much less 8 (well, 9) of them.

Anyone else have the same problem?
