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

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?

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.
