Arctic fox truck camper 990 or 992?
We are considering buying a 2016 992 vs a 2017 990 TC. I have been over the floor plans, weight and other specs. Still indecisive. it is for true 4 season camping in Yukon and Alaska with 2 adults ...

I like a passenger side dinette/window myself. Often we stop alongside the road for lunch or to take a break from driving usually the view is on the passenger side.
We have the 1150 which is a very similar to the 990 camper, just a bit longer. I have found that to comfortably get to the bathroom the slide needs to be opened a bit. Not much though and it's easy to do before climbing in. Same at the grocery store or to get in for any reason really. You can squeeze in but why struggle?
We are mostly full timing now in it and coincidentally we are currently in Alaska, 2 adults and 2 60 pound dogs. It does get cramped at times. As far as 4 season camping, I have no desire to be where temps are extreme, either hot or cold, so we have never really tested the 4 season capabilities but the furnaces in these things put out a tremendous amount of heat although they gobble up propane and battery to do so.The camper stays pretty warm with reflectix wrapped windows and 4 warm bodies inside. But if needed we will crack a vent and use a potable indoor approved propane heater. (that's a whole other topic/debate)
Lastly your considering a late model Dodge Laramie dually. We love ours. Our last truck was a 2004 Ram diesel dually which we liked but I am still amazed at how much more truck the newer truck is. Power delivery and confidence while loaded with the camper is night and day. That's comparing a modded (air bags, shocks, sway bar..older truck to a bone stock newer truck. Aside from fuel economy numbers (11-12 vs 13-14 with TC) zero regrets. That 2015 Ram Cummins will put a smile on your face when you hit the hills.
