HI, I have an Ahwahnee and a Lite house. I have had my Ahwahnee 3 years now and I am wondering if you have come up with a better idea about the fasteners. In fact my Lite house which is 5 years old seems to give less of a problem. Those plastic twist fasteners have gotten into a fixed configuration and have lost some reliability. They tend to come unfastened more readily than when they were new. Have you come up with a better idea?
