"It's time to hit the road!"  Here's a darling Fisher Price Little People #994 Play Family Camper that is 100% COMPLETE! This play set is a CLASSIC Fisher Price toy and one that all Fisher Price collectors covet. When you push the camper, it makes a motor sound and the people in the front seat bounce up and down. The camper home detaches from the pick-up truck and the rowboat fits on top of the camper's sunroof. 

All of the CAMPER'S 
and TRUCK'S  EXTERIOR and INTERIOR  lithos are original to this set.  I do not use reproduction or replacement lithos in my play sets unless they are egregiously damaged.  In these cases, I offer the buyer a replacement litho(s) free of charge.  I supply the buyer with instructions on how to apply these reproduction lithos but in the event the buyer requests assistance, I will apply the replacement litho for the buyer. I do not feel this play set warrants any replacement lithos.   In general, I would consider this particular #994 Play Family Camper set to be in EXC++-NEAR MINT condition. 



Specifically, the EXTERIOR CAMPER lithos are intact and brightly colored (EXC++).  Noted "imperfections include multiple, intermittent, hair-line, vertical creases and a few, minuscule rubs on both the right and left-hand Camper lithos; these are basically invisible unless you hold the Camper up within 3" of your eyes and rotate it in the light.  The EXTERIOR Truck lithos are similarly endowed (EXC++).  Other than some light soiling, some light water stains, and several, intermittent hair-line creases on the lithos on both the right and left-hand sides, the lithos are free of any marks, rips, or bubbles.  I believe the soiling and stains will be resolved during the cleaning process.  The INTERIOR CAMPER lithos (counter top and floor) likewise exhibit some light soiling together with multiple, white rubs/spots (?) on the floor litho. Once again, I feel that these spots and the soiling will be minimized during the cleaning process.  I'm being super "nit-picky" here.  Most of these aberrations are not readily visible to the viewer.  However, I do not want to disappoint any of my customers.


The INTERIOR BOAT litho is in NEAR MINT-MINT condition.  The bottom of the boat exhibits a few, light surface scratches and scuffs. I may be able to minimize the surface scratches via an application of Armor All wipes and a gentle buffing. In any event, these "imperfections"  DEFINITELY do not detract from the overall appearance of the boat while it is in play or on display.

 
The plastic surfaces of the truck, camper and boat have generally retained their original colors.    Noted "imperfections" consist of the following:

 
1.  Some scuffing on the upper rails of the truck bed, on the outer portions of the truck's roll bar, and another one on the camper roof; some of these may buff out following a generous application of Armor All Wipes; however, I do not believe all of these will be eliminated during the cleaning process; 


2. A handful of "dings," along with some light surface scratches and a tiny black mark, on the truck bed; a few light surface scratches are also detected on the Camper's roof; and


3. Some minimal "road wear" on the red, tires.


(NOTE:  The white marks on the green plastic, of the back of the passenger cab, easily scraped off with my finger nail.  They are no longer present).

 .
I have replaced the Camper's disintegrating mattresses with a firm, tan foam.  I have included some photos of this foam for your inspection. This new foam is firm and cut to fit the four individual beds.  I will not be gluing these in place so the buyer will be able to remove them if they wish to use something else.  In my opinion, the plastic surfaces of both the truck, camper, and boat warrant an EXC++-NEAR MINT rating.

 
All of the set's original accessories are included in this offering.  With the exception of the sink and red ladder (VG+), all of the accessories and WOOD/plastic Little People are in EXC++--MINT condition.  You will be receiving the following:


1 HTF red table with hot dog litho; 

 
1 VHTF red patio table with yellow umbrella;

 
1 VHTF red grill;


1 RARE red ladder (some scuffs and a few tooth marks);

 
2 HTF red and 2 HTF yellow captain's chairs with triangles on the back of the chairs;

 
1 HTF yellow motorcycle;


1 HTF white potty;


and 1 HTF white single sink (one scratch and a small, light brown indentation on the right-hand rear corner);



1 HTF, tall, WOOD/plastic, green bodied Dad with black heat-stamped hair; 

 
1 VHTF, WOOD/plastic, yellow bodied boy with red cap facing forward, freckles,and a frown (NOTE:  I substituted this frowning boy for a yellow bodied boy with a red cap facing forward, freckles, and a smile);


1 HTF, WOOD/plastic, tall, blue bodied Mom with flirty eyes and a blonde pony;


1 VHTF, WOOD/plastic, red bodied girl with bobbed blonde hair w/bangs (some minor paint loss consistent with age on the back of the girl and a teensy rub on her left hand eye);


1 ALL PLASTIC, Lucky, the dog, with red collar (NOTE:  As Lucky's head is a tad loose, I will be securing it with some Rubber Cement).

 
I've tried to be as thorough and honest about this set as I can. All in all, this is a GREAT play set for a beginning Fisher Price collector or some lucky child.

  
I will be thoroughly Q-tip cleaning this play set using a variety of cleaning products: Q-tips, toothpicks, a child's tooth brush, Dawn, Soft Scrub, Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser, Goo Gone, Clorox Bleach etc. I spend a minimum of 1 1/2 - 6 hours cleaning every play set I sell (except for those clearly marked as being in My Rough Room).  My sets are IMMACULATE!

 
REMEMBER, this VINTAGE Fisher Price play set is NOT included in the recent Fisher Price recall of toys manufactured in China. This play set was manufactured in the good ole' U.S.A. in 1975!!!! It's 44 years young and still personifies Fisher Price's reputation for imaginative, durable toys. 
 

This toy represents the "GOLDEN AGE" of Fisher Price toys---when kids could be kids and exercise their own imaginations instead of sitting there passively and watching a toy do everything for them. Open up the windows of your child's or grandchild's minds and watch them soar! I guarantee this toy will keep them actively engaged in play for hours:) 

 
Purchasers should refrain from allowing children under 3 years of age to play with these toys without adult supervision or to offer these toys to children who may be still mouthing their toys. 
  

This set weighs approximately 2 1/2 -3 lbs. UNWRAPPED. My zip code is 47905 (INDIANA).
