Unboxing
The
FUNWHOLE Travel Trailer came shipped in a sturdy box and the artwork on the box cover looks fantastic. Every FUNWHOLE set comes in these boxes which I reuse afterwards to store my extra brick parts.
Upon opening the box, you will get a lot of goodies, such as a thick instruction booklet, tons of parts bags and a separate box which is the mainstay of every Funwhole building block set, the lighting kit. The light kit is what sets FUNWHOLE apart from Lego and all of the other competing brick brands.
Inside the light kit box, we have a set of metal tweezers, a battery box and two pouches.
The pouches contain the lighting components which will be added to the travel trailer set during construction. In this set there is a USB connector, a yellow 4 port expansion slot, several dot lights, and a wireless connector setup.
The instruction guide is very easy to follow and the part descriptions are clear and concise.
Travel Trailer set construction
Alright let's build! There are a total of 8 steps to build the travel trailer. The parts bags all have numbers that correspond to each step making it easy to find the right pieces to use.
For step 1, we get three bags of parts.
Step 1 builds the colourful base of the travel trailer.
Moving on to step 2, we can get 2 bags.
Here's the progress after step 2.
Here's 4 bags of parts used in step 3.
In step 3, we are building some of the interior furnishings such as the cabinets, the bed and sofa. You can see that in this step we have incorporated some of the lighting features.
Moving on to step 4, we will use 3 bags of parts.
The travel trailer gets some appliances like a fridge and microwave, and a door to the bathroom. The postcards and travel magazines are all printed pieces! That's another unique feature in that FUNWHOLE prefers printed parts over stickers.
We use another 3 bags for step 5.
The travel trailer is really starting to take shape in this step! We installed a lot of windows on every side and the yellow and orange colour scheme looks very nice!
There are just 2 bags for step 6.
Step 6 finishes off the bottom of the trailer and we attached the wheels and hidden battery pack underneath. Note: The battery pack uses 3 AA batteries which are not included.
We also finish the back wall which can be easily removed to see the bathroom. The air conditioning unit, spare tire and the ladder to the roof all look very realistic.
Step 7 uses 2 bags of parts.
Yup, we building the roof of the travel trailer! It's equipped with skylights and solar panels and lots of room for rooftop storage.
On the final step 8, we have 2 bags of parts numbered 8 plus an extra bag that contains the awning fabric and poles.
The awning can be rolled out for those wanting some shade.
This travel trailer is destined for the beach because of the two surfboards! To relax, there are two folding camp chairs, a portable table. For a quick bite, you can have hot dogs or pizza, and to keep busy and entertained, there is a small replica box of the FUNWHOLE camper set that comes with the signature lighting kit box too!
For those with a bigger appetite, the trailer comes equipped with a large barbecue stove, cooler, and assorted drinks and condiments. And musical tunes are provided by the radio!

The Travel Trailer looks so cool, it's too bad I don't live close to a beach, or I'd definitely bring it there and take pictures of it on location!
Here are some more views of this home away from home.
With the awning rolled up, and all the accessories packed away, it's time to hit the highway!
I believe this is a power generator and propane tank for the barbecue.
Extra storage.
Awning rolled up.
Now that we've checked out the exterior, let's go up the ramp and see the interior!
Access to the interior is made easy by removing the roof and back panel.
Let's check out the living quarters! With lots of storage space, keeping the inside tidy is a breeze!
I love the fridge and microwave with lighting inside! Printed pieces on the cabinet!
Moving along, we get a coffee maker, a sink and a table lamp that lights up!
A comfy bed and a bookshelf and place to store the radio and of course the little FUNWHOLE set! Gotta have a camera to capture all those vacation pics. Hey, I told you a million times, don't leave your pizza on the bed!
The bed is removable so you can stow the barbecue, the cooler and other storage items underneath. A very efficient use of space!
A sofa and cushion bring the creature comforts from home. I forgot to take a picture but that little brown side table with the flower has extra hotdog weiners inside!
At the rear of the trailer, the bathroom contains a towel bar with towels, a toilet, a cabinet with mirror, and a showerhead on the back wall.
But let's not forget what FUNWHOLE is all about, it's the lighting!
Check out the warm glow coming from inside the trailer.
Even the bathroom is lit up!
Final Thoughts
FUNWHOLE did a great job of replicating a Travel Trailer! This makes a wonderful display to remind you of all those past beach vacations. The lighting kit adds an extra ambience at night. There were so many cool accessories that came with this set, and I especially loved the little FUNWHOLE replica set of the camper. This is a big set and I wished that it was possible to shrink the trailer down to minifigure size, but I know that they'd probably have to reduce the amount of accessories to make it fit the scale I want.
Now I just need an equivalent sized vehicle to pull the camper! Got any recommendations?
