An excellent review, one of the best I've ever read, and very useful for future buyers of this item.

The detail of the caravan is Playmobil at its best with details such as the septic tank other toy makers just wouldn't think of.  Maybe one day the toilet will be connected to it for extra realism!

Great review interesting to see all the features it looks great with all its mod cons and storage very much making using of the space I like it a lot particularly the beds. Pity that it presents so many assembly problems though.  I like the ideas for making it tow realistically the baby Dino idea is great  :lol: I've got to admit I've just got the set with the family tent and it didn't occur to me to knot the power chord I just patiently pushed it back through the hole when it fell out it's quite good the way they've fitted it into the base plate and certainly with my power box you can choose to connect it up or store both plugs tidily away in the power box

Fantastic review, thanks again  ;D

I love this caravan too, and I've conveniently forgotten the difficulties of putting it all together.
I always thought the kid was a boy, with his hair? He's my favourite in swimwear too  :love:

Call me old fashioned perhaps it's partially being a Transman but, to me klickies with male hair are male and vice versa male kilckies with female hair, old fashioned male klickies with necklaces all look weird to me. Don't get me wrong it's a nice swimming costume but, I look at it and see a boy in girls swimming costume, the toys are good.

Such a useful and fun review, Raven! Over eighty distinct parts to this set (I must get that inventory verified!) compared to 57 in this year's 6671 - Familien-Wohnmobil - keep that in mind when considering pricing.

According to Playmobil's numbering system he's a boy - see the "10" in "30 10 3090" - and so that's how I've categorized him. However, the suit looks girl-ish to me too = maybe full-body swimsuits are more common for both sexes in Europe? Of course, I'd be the last to argue with a child, or grownup toy-enjoyer, who asserts that a certain figure is one gender or the other. There are a few Knights in the recent collection that could certainly be either, despite their "30 00" numbers. The imagination must rule!

Inventory done! Borrowed some of your pictures, Raven. 5434 - Caravan Something to note is that the parts that were pre-assembled, such as in the bathroom, are not shown on the plans, therefore are not listed in my main inventory; but, in the Spare Parts list at the official site, they're there, so I've included them in the 5434 text list, with no quantity. Also found out some numbers of plain versions of printed parts, so they're there too as subparts.

Whew. Off to do the tent set next!

I think it is the full body swim suit which confuses matters if it was just speedos or a monkey tshirt and shorts it would be a  much more clear cut case of oh that's a boy but, the combination of the boys hair and girls swimming costume  8}
