CUSTOMER REVIEW
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this?) When I was a little girl, I had a Barbie camper and remember spending hours playing with it. In fact, I still have mine! I wished there was a camper for my own daughters because they still love their Barbies (at ages 10 - 12) but I didn't want to give them mine to use, they're a little rough on toys and my camper is a (little bit) old!
So when I saw this one, I knew we had to try it out. It's marketed as an "RV" now-a-days and also includes a horse trailer.
First of all, this is one HUGE toy. It's like the size of six typical sized shoe boxes, stacked two high and then laid end-to-end. And that's when it's folded away! Secondly, it took a long time for us to put it together. There weren't really any directions on where the stickers were supposed to go, so we had to use the photo on the box and a lot of guesswork. There was a bit of assembly, for which there were directions, but it wasn't too big of a deal.
Now to the fun part: Is it fun to play with? Yes! Even me, being a woman of a certain age, still enjoyed playing with this for a little while. It's really cute because instead of it being a solid single piece like from when I was young, it's more like a tractor/trailer type deal. So you can detach the tractor part off and the back folds down with some seats and the Barbies can go cruisin' the town. It folds down even further to include the horse, but I don't know how the girls sitting in the back feel about having a horse bu-t in their faces. I know I'd not be too keen on that.
The back of the trailer part folds down into a horse stall for Buttercup (that's the name of the horse my daughters have) Which is right next to the fold down eating area for the girls. I guess that's pretty convenient because then they can easily share their scraps with Buttercup. Unless Buttercup gets really aggressive and starts biting at their hair to make them get up so he can just eat their entire breakfast. I questioned them on their prudence on the decision to continously choose oatmeal for breakfast when you're eating right next to a horse, but they just gave me the "ugh" look and rolled their eyes. Of course, nearly every day Buttercup bites their hair, they run, he eats their oatmeal and apples and they go hungry.
There are enough beds for everyone, some fold down from the wall and fold away later for TV watching and travel. The pool flips over and becomes a fire-pit, complete with teeny little marshmallows and sticks for s'mores. She shower is in the same room, separated by just a curtain, of the head Barbies bedroom. So I guess it's up to them to work out a shower schedule. The toilet is also in that area, so.... A design flaw in that room is that the toilet paper roll is behind the toilet seat when it's up. So if they are using the toilet (which frankly, I think they do a little more often than is normal, if you ask me), they can't reach the toilet paper. That may explain the constant requests to stop at the nearest laundry-mat when traveling.
When packing up camp to head on out to the next rodeo, everything (in theory) folds up into the one neat 6 shoebox sized package. But we had a really hard time trying to figure out where to put all of the accessories (and there are a lot of them) while it's fold AND where to put the pool. It doesn't seem wise to strap a pool/fire-pit to the top of a moving vehicle, that's just asking for a lawsuit. So my girls had to resort to magic to have it appear wherever they're going. As for the stuff, we just crammed it all in there. We haven't figured out what to do with two of the four girls when they travel either, or Buttercup. I guess they ended up using a sort of "Star Trek" transport method and all is well.
