I was thinking this same damn thing... That's all my grandfather used when I was growing up and seemed to work out ok for him...

this is not my camper, i'm gonna use the appropriate hardware. if it were mine i would go the cheap route and just bolt it straight to the bed

I dont understand, what does the high dollar clamp do that the c-clamp doesnt?

[Rick Modena]

Actually the aluminum camper clamps* still might be cheaper than C-clamps or C-clamp vice grips.

*A pack of six are about $30.00

Nope i'm wrong, the cheap C-clamps can be had for around $3.99 a pop.

i'm thinking the same thing, but hey.... he wants camper clamps, give the man camper clamps!

sidenote: mike i have some camper clamps that look just like c clamps for sale @ $30 ea. they are made specifically for old mazdas using borrowed campers. get at me fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

god bless.

you are missing the point entirely. a coworker said i could use his camper as long as i bring some camper shell clamps. i know c clamps will do the same job but he is doing me the favor by giving me his camper shell for the weekend, possibly forever, for free.

camper clamps spread the load out over more surface area to prevent possible cracking of the fiberglass

with that said, I have always just used 6 C clamps

See, that's the kinda bullshit that saying earlier would have helped.

By you saying:

...use the appropriate hardware. if it were mine i would go the cheap route and just bolt it straight to the bed

You are insinuating that clamps are somehow not appropriate, and then that you wouldnt use them if it was up to you either way. I like the clamps becuse they are cheap, and very easy to take on and off. I pull my grampa campa off when I dont need it, and put it back on when I do, and it takes all of 10 mins to do.
