The Exterior…
One piece fiberglass cabover and bulkhead. That equates to no seams. And no seams means less opportunities for maintenance/leaks.
2,500 pound electric jacks attached to not only the corners, but also wraps around the bottom to give more lift from down under. Electric jacks come with 6 function remote.
1 inch thick compartment doors (insulated).
Sidewall solar port.
Dual propane tanks with auto regulator.
Marine grade exterior speakers for the Kenwood AM/FM/CD/DVD player with touchscreen and Bluetooth.
Entry door has friction hinge…making it wind resistant.
12 volt LED rear awning.

Refer/dinette slide (slide out). And the slide out is what gives this little gem it’s room inside.
Standard booth dinette with easy push down table for a quick bed conversion.
Storage, albeit cubbies, cabinets, drawers….they are everywhere. Northwood has put some effort in optimizing the storage space.
Wet bath with head clearance skylight.
The galley is equipped with a stainless steel microwave oven with matching range hood above the three burner stove. And the sink’s faucet is equipped with a pull out sprayer.
Kenwood AM/FM/CD/DVD player with touchscreen and Bluetooth to play music inside or blast it outside.
Digital thermostat.
Choice of 19 inch or 32 inch TV.
Compartment for optional generator.

WORTHY CONSIDERATIONS: Possible Cons
Size, sophistication and the ton of accessories it could come with. Accessories as a CON? Well, there are more options and accessories than you can wave a stick at. So when shopping at a dealership one Artic Fox Camper 990 may be totally different from the next.
The Exterior…
Like with any camper, you can’t just “hitch up”, “unhitch” and go. You’re loading it on and off of your pickup.
Though it does have a roof rack, it is limit on what you carry on top of it. Especially if you have optioned for the larger solar panel or other goodies.
It does ride high and heavy down the road on the back of your truck.
The Interior…
Like any camper, the drawback is the interior size. And having guests in cold conditions can cramp the space available.
And with guests staying with you…though you do have privacy curtains, the curtains are thin, so you will hear snoring or vice versa.
Television…it appears to have a swivel mount, but you’ll need to check. And on the subject of TV…TV’s are an option. So if you want one already in, you may have to pay just a little more.
