I have never used the Camper, but I have had a Barley bag reinfored with cardboard in the bottom for several years. I use the Riv Silver Hupe and have had no problems with sagging. http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/r9.htm I found it necessary to wrap the stays with some electrical tape for paint protection when installing, but the Hupe is an ingenious little device that can be adjusted vertically more easily than a rack.
