I have been using the Fast Guns for some time now. I added j bolts and two quick links to each one. Once set up, mark each one for the position, r/f,l/f, r/r and l/r. You will have to adjust when reinstalling your camper if you get the camper off center. They are mush better than dealing with turnbuckles. The one I use on the left front is upside down to fit in that area. The quick links make it easier to hook up to the eye bolts, once locked into place the quick links and fast guns become one unit, and they will not come loose. One word  of caution, the leverage of the fast guns can over tighten and cause stress to the floor of your truck, causing cracks if you are not careful.

I picked some up and tried to get them to work yesterday.  It is possible to get them to work, but the length of the j-hook has to be perfect and isn't easily adjusted.  As fish more stated they are extremely powerful binders and could do some damage.  I decided against them as I figured out a much better plan with some stronger turnbuckles that should save time on the install each time.

So what is your approach that saves install time? Did it pan out the way you had hoped?
