You could do with ones that work... see http://myswag.org/forum/index.php?topic=17306.0

I'd be interested to know how that panned out.

You can. People used to drive cars without them too.

No you dont.  You only need dampers to dampen the oscillation of the spring.  You dont NEED to dampen it on a camper but of course it is nice to have if you are going somewhere with lots of ruts and bumps, like the pacific highway   ;D .  Just make sure it only dampens and does not become an additional spring which can make it harsh and cause things to crack or break.

If you run a simple single stage hydraulic damper you will be fine.
