No comment on 990 vs 992. That's just personal preference imo.
You ar picking a very capable sweet combination though!
Regarding 4 season camping, there's a difference between "normal" winter and the northern reaches of the continent. Just because Arctic is in the name does not mean it's Arctic rated! I'd expect to do some mods/ better insulating/and prep for "true" 4 season up north. They are more of a 2.8 season camper up there without some help. Been As cold as low teens/single digit nights and above freezing and sunny during the day and a AF 860 with no additional help/insulation peeled through over a 30lb bottle of propane and would run the batteries dead on the furnace fan before you were ready to get up in the morning.
Any colder or more use at those temps would have warranted shoring up some things on the camper.
On the truck, again talking out my _____but I would prefer simplicity in extreme low temps. At 30-50 below lots of things break that shouldn't.
