Today on Fisher Price Friday I'd love to share the #992 Play Family Car and Camper. This popular set was made from 1980-1984 after the #994 Play Family Camper was discontinued.
The set has fifteen pieces including 4 people, a picnic table and benches, motorcycle, grill, boat, camper top, pop up camper and family jeep.
The red motorcycle fits nicely on the back of the camper resting on the camper top. I read that it is referred to as a "red trail bike" but it looks just like a motorcycle to me. The yellow camper top has a green lithograph with "f" and "p" and "fisher price" on it.
The camper top opens on the bottom and has enough room to fit all of the extra furniture. The top is frequently missing from sets and is a tricky piece to find on its own. I was fortunate to have a fellow FPLP friend help me complete my set (I bought just the camper and jeep together).
The family pieces are all plastic and as pictured. The girl could also have a light red body or be a brunette. The boy has a red cap, freckles and is smiling. The set included two green lounge chairs
The green picnic table includes a lithograph of place settings. Everyone is eating steak for dinner! The yellow grill is unique with x-shaped criss-cross style legs instead of the more typical spindle (separate) legs. The yellow x-shaped grill was made from 1982-1984, from 1980-1981 it had spindle legs. This was the only set that the yellow x-shaped grill was produced for and the first set to have this leg design.
The camper is pulled by a hitch on the family Jeep.
The Jeep sits 4 but the rear seat folds down for storage. How cool is that? The Jeep has lithographs of simulated wood on each side (matching) that have Fisher Price on it and camping stickers.
A cute little green and yellow boat rests on top of the Jeep. It holds 4 people.
The camper has a white plastic top that folds open to show the yellow fabric pop up tent.
Inside the camper is a dining table that seats four, a kitchen and fold out entrance steps. The lithographs on the table include a bowl of flowers, and a child's drawing and crayons. The kitchen counters include a cutting board with vegetables and a knife, a four burner stove, kitchen sink, coffee pot and a fruit bowl. The camper floor is a lithograph of linoleum.
Each side of the camper has sleeping areas (sleep two) and windows cut into the yellow tent fabric.
This is the camper folded down and without the storage container on top. Many pop up camper sets are sold online looking just like this. They are still fun without the camper top, but trust me, you'll be driven to find one if you buy it this way. ;)
For comparison here is the Pop Up Camper #992 next to the Play Family Camper #994. The Pop up Camper has a much more realistic profile. To read more about the Play Family Camper look here.
Happy Camping!
