You didn't think there would be a part four, did you? I sure didn't!
I was beginning to wonder if the snow and cold would ever pass.
At least my neighbors had some fun with it.
But Goodwill came through for me again. This is a Barbie 3 in 1 Dream Camper.
Normally, I turn my nose up at the newer Barbie campers because... yeah, lets go camping and fold down all the walls and stick the kindergartener up in the sky. But I figure this one was like five bucks and it can just be a van if I want.
Like this. That's meant to be Chelsea's bed. Someone else is meant to sleep below it, on the roof, presumably to catch the poor kid when she rolls over.
The headlight and tail light stickers were reasonably intact. A few drops of Krazy Glue fixed the curled corners on one of them and one of the rear view mirrors. The rest of the stickers needed to go.
It did come with some of its accessories like this hidden boat.
The cab pops off so Barbie doesn't have to pack up the whole campsite just to hike a trail. We already saw where the boat is stored. The wading pool goes in the big window and the kitchenette just was crammed in the back. All of these are intact and usable.
I also found a couple tubes of something in the rear bathroom. A blue drinking glass and a orphan boot were rattling around under the driver's seat. No picture of them since they weren't bravely clinging to their proper spot!
Here's the rear bathroom. Missing toilet means I gotta buy some Sour Flush candy. I really like the cute lil shower but I'll have to pretend they have something to protect their privacy in here. Maybe like a folding room divider... hmmm...
The cardboard insert between rooms is good.
On that side, anyway. I've deeply offended at the idea of an entire entertainment center in a camper. The TV and radio in my 1970's camper are smaller and more suited for roughing it. There is none in the Star Traveler. Well, maybe a radio on the dashboard.
Out comes the contact paper.
After a liberal use of rubbing alcohol in hope of removing sticker residue, it's drying off. I used the black-and-white roses to cover the entertainment center side of the cardboard insert. If I have to cover the sticker areas on the exterior, I'll use the same.
