Camper clamps
I just bought a Sportsman camper for my -70 C20.
Unfortunately the fastening devices are missing, wich should be some kind of clamps, as i understand it. To bring it home i clamped it with some carpenters clamps. :-) I would really appretiate if anyone had some pictures showing the correct devices. Thanks /Tomme

B.t.w.
On the "Sportsman" sign in the back it says "Jackson Enterprises". I have tried to find them on internet but have failed so far. Is there any other good source for spare parts, like locks and rubber? /Tomme

All the ones I've seen are usually held on with C clamps, 3 on each side, easy to remove when hauling big items. Maybe thats what you mean by carpenter clamps, but I usually think of the big wood clamps then.

Camper Clamps
You can get reagular clamps at any camper sales , or 3" or 4" c-clamps work fine. put a small piece of wood on the rail under C- clamp to spread pressure and that will hold it fine. If you dont mind, what did you pay for the topper. I have one like it I want to sell. But don't what to ask for it. rj

Thanks for your replies, i currently use some wood clamps, but would like to have something nicer, i might have to fabricate something.
Since i live in Sweden i don't know if the prices apply so well to US, but i paid 2200 SEK wich is about $290. It is not as good as it looks on the pics, it has a number of dents, and some holes in the roof, one 2" long scratch hole and about 7 holes from wood nails. /Tomme
