The dog door broke before I even got all the stickers on it. Nice engineering Mattel two super thin plastic hinges aren't going to hold up to any type of play.Update
Now that's it's finished, it's worse than I thought. The revolving back door is terribly sub-par. When the shower and toilet face the outside of the camper, the curtain rod will hit the exterior "C -pillar" when you attempt to spin it back. You have to manually pull the rod inwards towards the center of rotation. NOTE: the vertical panel which divides the shower and toilet appears to be the issue. This panel has an upper plastic snap which frequently dislodges from the center "hinge". This makes it hard to spin the door, which flexes the plastic enough that the shower rod pops out. I think I'll try some clear silicone to keep the panel attached to the hinge.
Best Deals for Barbie Sisters Family Camper
We received this as a gift for our 5 year old (and 6 year old by association). This is the biggest piece of crap we've ever had in our house and that's saying a lot considering all the crap toys out there (and in our house).It seems you touch this thing and something falls off or breaks. My 5 year old really wants to play with it and has tried to on numerous occasions but after a while she gives up because it's always coming apart. It reminds me of the board game Mouse Trap--touch one little thing and it sets destruction in motion.
5 will take it for a spin around the house then have to stop and try to fix whatever broke.
The instructions to set it up aren't exactly helpful either and some of the furniture and the hide a bed are just plain flimsy.
Can't wait to take this thing to the range for target practice.
Honest reviews on Barbie Sisters Family Camper
I agree with all negative reviews posted thus far. This camper is poorly made, which makes it almost useless for my twin 5 year old daughters. It took my husband over 2 hours to put these toys together (yes, unfortunately we have two of these pieces of junk). One would think that with that amount of time vested the campers would stay together. That is not the case. The side panels come apart when the girls try to "drive" the campers. The side door becomes unhinged if the girls attempt to shut it without help from us. The what-appears-to-be-such-cute-accessories that are supposed to stay in place when the campers are in motion do not, in fact, stay in place, so the girls get frustrated when everything has shifted after the campers have been moved around. We have issues with the front seat of both campers; it does not even lock in place so whichever Barbie (or Ken) is driving usually ends up sideways. This does not go over well with my daughters. The hammock feature often jams when the girls try to open it, and getting it back into its little storage compartment on the top of the camper is no easy task.Having been around toys now for the last almost 6 years, I give the thumbs-up to the ones that can withstand typical "playing" from the age of the child(ren) recommended by the manufacturer. This toy gets a big thumbs-down. Do not waste your money or your time on it. What is the most telling of all is when the girls say to me that the toymakers of this camper needs to go back to school and learn more so "they can fix" the multitude of problems and annoyances associated with this camper.

I bought 2 of these for my daughters for Christmas. The first day, the camper wouldn't close. Since then, the plastics pieces that attach keep breaking. This item is not made very well. Both campers are doing the same thing!
