Ordering my new Arctic Fox..option questions
So I’m looking at having to make a factory order as nobody has a 992 on the lots and the ones that did, had options I don’t want. I do have questions for those have factory ordered through Northwood. ...

Not sure you need the folding grab handle. It appears the 992 has a ladder in the same place as the 990. With the Fox Landing you enter and egress right by the ladder which makes a great grab handle for getting up or down. We use it for that purpose all the time.
Your right we use ladder rather than grab handle but the grab handle does make it possible to open the door when standing on the ground otherwise, especially if tc is mounted, you'd have to stand on steps.
Actually we have 2 long handles on the rear of our rig, 1 of them is the foldout grab handle which I agree is worthless. It's the long handle that reaches from the bottom of the door to above the latch and attaches to the latch that's worth having.
The "EZ Open Handle" option is the long handle mounted on the door that attaches to the door latch, which makes it possible to open the door when you can't reach the door latch.
I don't have (and didn't want) this option since I'm tall enough to reach the door latch while standing on the ground even when the camper is on the truck.
This option could be easily added at anytime.
I also agree that the folding grab handle option is not needed since the ladder is in the perfect position to be used as a grab handle.
I think the ladder actually interferes with "folding grab handle" option.
