Yeah, we change our filters way too often for screws too. JB Weld and magnets work for us. Also, we buy HEPA filter material from Amazon and cut them ourselves. Waaay cheaper.

Thanks for the correction, Stu. Didn't have it handy when I wrote the reply. A shame they stopped making them---when we first got the coach I used it all the time.
