I spent the night setting up some camper guides and now I hope they work. Thought I would post up some pictures so you guys can pick them apart 
Front ones are standard Happijac guides with some minor modifications so they would fit on my old style Happijac cross-bar. I had to cut the back of them open a little wider so they would fit over the bar and change the mounting system a little.
For the rear I built them out of 2"x3/16" flat bar, 1/2" square tube and some UHMW. The square tube is for support and so I can haul small items in behind them without the items falling out. I am hoping that a 1 gallon gas can will fit in there for generator gas but we will see.
I will be putting two strips of UHMW on the front of the camper for the Happijac guides to slide on and some 1.5"x1.5" rolled angle on the rear underside corners for protection where they will slide down the rear guides.
I didn't know about a few things such as how much space should be between the guides but I made them so there will be about 3/8" gap. That gives about 3/16" on each side which should be sufficient, if I decide to tighten it up I can get some thicker UHMW.

to my project I thought I might throw in another picture so you can see what the guides do. They center the camper when loading and keep it from sliding around..
