ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Novel clamps are provided to enable a modular utility unit to replace a door on a van-type wheeled vehicle. The modular utility unit includes: a utility-containing and appliance- containing unit having a facade, a base, a top, sides and an exterior surrogate door panel; utility appliances disposed with- in the modular utility unit. The clamps comprise a hollow housing (e.g. a hollow rectangular parallelipiped housing) having a slot on one side thereof and provided with securement means on the housing; a rotatable screw member mounted longitudinally therein (preferably wherein one end of the screw member is freely rotatably mounted to one end of the housing and the other end of the screw member is provided with an attachment nut); adjusting means secured to one end of the rotatable screw member; a trav- elling rail member disposed along said screw member; and a piv- otable arm being adapted to protrude from the slot and being adapted to pivot as a result of rotation of the rotatable screw member, (e.g., as a result of longitudinal movement of the travelling rail member due to rotation of the screw member by the adjusting nut); When the door of the vehicle is removed, the clamps cooperate with a door frame of the vehicle for securing the utility unit within the vehicle. Releasing the clamps en- ables removal of the utility unit from the vehicle, and the door of the vehicle may then be replaced. Thus, by the use of these clamps, a van-type vehicle can be converted to a utility unit- containing camper van merely by replacing one door thereof with the above described modular utility unit.
