Welcome!
I don't have your camper but moved this to a forum where other Surveyor owners can find it easily.

FR trailers are bought through the dealerships and not direct from the factory. These are independently owned and operated. There are some large dealerships that include words like "Wholesale" and "Direct" but these are neither wholesalers not factory-direct. They are just dealerships and often have very low pricing so attract buyers from all over.

Most packages (e.g., Diamond, luxury, Convenience, etc) generally include factory options that can easily be added on if you bought retail. However, its usually less expensive to order the package.
I don't see that Surveyor offers an Arctic package (although I have heard of Surveyors with a sticker that says Arctic).
The website and brochure don't list it, but if its an option the Arctic or Polar Package on most trailers would include an enclosed and heated underbelly, heated tanks, storm windows and maybe extra insulation in the floor and ceiling. Some of these are easy to do yourself (tank pads). Some are not so easy (extra insulation). Do you plan to camp in the cold very often?

We've never had a trailer with a ladder so not necessary, but it would be nice.
Good luck and have fun in your shopping!
