You could have put a piece of wood between the studs, secured with pocket hole screws, then attached the siding to that with screws. I am having the same issue with my trailer and having been researching how to repair it. Thank you much for the video! It’s always great to see other people’s ideas for repairs.
@Loren Smith Thanks for the idea and hopefully we won’t have this problem again! We appreciate you watching & hope your trailer is okay as well! 🙏
That was my thought,just attached a stud aligned with the original and screw into that. I was sideswiped by a truck on my way back to SC from CO. And have to replace a few pieces in between good pieces. We'll see how it goes!
Thanks for the video. I wasn't sure how to pull the aluminum to begin with,so you got me on the right track!
For re-attaching the corner trim I've seen a lot of people put down butyl tape on the back of the trim piece (what was there) to seal the corner then re-attach the trim. Before using silicone on the edges, use painters tape about 1/8" or 1/4" away from the corner trim. Put down your silicone right over the painters tape butted up to the corner trim, let it set a while but not fully. Then remove the painters tape and you will have a nice crisp bead that wont look sloppy! Hopefully you wont have to do the other side or anything though!
@Mr. Me Thank you for your recommendation, we really appreciate it! Thanks for watching our video and we would appreciate your support by subscribing to our channel!
Great video! Just thing though. The tin and studs allowed you to make a repair at home relatively easily. The fiberglass sides can come apart too. When that happens the repair can be very extensive. My buddy just clipped a mailbox with his aluminum sided travel trailer. We are going to replace a few aluminum panels and all is good. If it was a fiberglass sided trailer the repair would be very difficult at home.
I have a used '16 Prowler 18 LX with siding. No problems yet with the siding at least. Repaired the toilet, replaced both stabilizer switches and blowing hot water fuses because of bugs getting in the tube. Good little camper!
@Bert Kelly So glad to hear you have not had major problems especially with your siding. So far we have not had issues that we can’t fix ourselves. Thanks for watching & hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend! 🤩
Great job repairing it
I've had a similar problem with my Forrest river trailer and once I exposed the problem I cut some furring strips and sandwiched the existing stud with the furring strips applying liquid nails to both sides and securing it wit screws . This Gave me new wider wood surfaces to attach the panels to.
I used truss head lathe screws to attach the panels to on either side of where the staples ripped out and it has held up perfectly.
@Matt Hester That is such a wonderful idea and we will definitely consider this should we have to go in a make additional repairs to the siding! Thanks for watching our video and taking time to let us know how you repaired yours. 🤩
great information! we have a 2019 forest river grey wolf with the same siding. we came back from the outer banks a few weeks ago and today while we were at the trailer just checking things out we notice the siding was bowing out. of course we panic and assume the worst. after watching your video, i think it will be an non expensive fix.
@kristinasterling We are so sorry to hear this happened to you and hope you are able to repair it yourself! We are glad to hear our video was helpful. Please keep us updated if you can and let us know how it worked. Thank you for watching and happy camping! 😀
Great video, thank you for this! Have a similar issue on our TT, dealer wanted $3k to fix the problem - that was a solid no from me. Plan on tackling this fix in the next week or two at our campsite, many miles & months to go before we head home.
@richwerning95 Yes, it was definitely cost effective to do it ourselves. Hope it works for you & please feel free to reach out if you have any questions as you tackle this yourself. Thanks for watching! Wishing you the best! ☺
Great video! Good idea using those aluminum pieces. Being a contractor, my first thought was to add 2x2 next to the stud and then screw it down. But it looks like your solution gives more holding area. Thanks for the video.
@Barbara Cherek We appreciate you taking time to comment and giving us your professional opinion as a contractor. Glad to hear you approve! 🤩 Thanks for watching our video! 😃
I was thinking the same thing for more support. But this way saves more time and weight if that matters haha
@@HungNguyen91622 Hope our video has been helpful! Thanks for watching! 🤩
Hi. Really appreciate your video. I put away my 20’ 1985 Sunline (slapped together exactly like you mentioned yours seems to be) in 1998 when I bought the RV love of my life, a GMC Motorhome. The Sunline was in like new condition when I put it in long term storage in a far corner of my property and I had a great time using it long ago and have a new use for it again in the near future. I live about 75 miles from where they were made and watched the process close up (think sausage ) and had them fix problems on mine when I used to use it. I could not get over how they slap these things together. I know I will have a lot of work ahead of me when I dive in to fix whatever ails it after all this time and your video helped me remember how they did a similar repair on mine 25 years ago. One issue solved. Probably 500 more to be discovered and dealt with.
@Walter Bright Wow! 1985 Sunline! What a classic! We are definitely laughing at “think sausage” because this is exactly how we envision the process! We are so glad our video has helped in your repairs! Keep us updated if possible! 🤩😄
Well done. It gives us confidence to fix our same problem on our 2018 Jayco. Thank you so much.
@wstevenson7857 We are so glad to hear & please let us know how it turns out! Thanks for watching! 🤩
Thanks for your video. Those plates don't actually go through the panel and might pull out? Maybe? I had this issue driving through high wimds and will probably intall wood side pieces to screw or staple in multiple areas instead of the single staple per stud. Now I know how they fit together. Thanks.
@robbypro3370 Yes, that would probably work out well. That’s just how we did ours at that time. Thank goodness we have purchased another trailer and don’t have that issue anymore. Thanks for watching! 😀
Same thing Just happened to my Toy Hauler. Great video, after watching your video think I’m going to try to repair mine myself! Thanks!!
@Wx Chase We are so glad our video has helped & please let us know how it works out for you! Thanks for watching! 🤩
Literally this exact thing happened on our trip this weekend, in the same place and a Pioneer. I have not been happy with the quality but like the camper. I was hoping it was something that I could do and not a huge issue. Our trailer spent the better part of last year in the shop getting "fixed" from manufacturer issues that prevented us from using it. I was very leary about taking it back again, who knows how long they would have it. Thanks for the video! I am new subscriber now.
@grnstck We are so sorry to hear this has happened to you and yes, when you take it in for repair it takes forever. We have not been happy with the quality of our trailer either but happy to have one. So glad our video has been helpful and please feel free to reach out if you have additional repairs. We can help because we have done so many of them. lol. Thanks for watching! 😀
@@OutsidebySide the other big one we are dealing with is the wallpaper and cabinet covering is peeling. Seems as if they did not use enough wallpaper paste. We have found that heating it with an iron helps. Have you run into this and any other suggested on how to fix?
It’s the nature of the beast. I have a corrugated trailer that we use hunting and fishing for the boys, I’ve had it for decades. I’m constantly tweaking things here or there and repairing something. It’s a 1984 Prowler by Fleetwood, 19 ‘ bumper pull. We also have a 2013, 28’ Keystone Bullet bunk house bumper pull rv, that we use for family outings, it’s a little more girl friendly than the old hunting trailer. It’s fiberglass and you have similar issues also, fiberglass tends to buckle in the front after a number of years especially if you store the rv outside and the decals fade fast in the sun. If you own an rv and want to own the same one for years you have to do constant maintenance. Once a year I take a screw driver and pliers and walk around the outside of the trailers and tighten everything back up. Things come loose often when being towed down bumpy roads. None of these RV’s are made the way they should be or the way we think they are when you first buy one. Mark up on all of them are extremely high. They are still a lot of fun, you just have to know what you’re getting into and be willing to do the maintenance. Two things you don’t want in your trailer I’ve learned over the years the hard way are mice and water. Thanks for the video.
@DB COOPER Yes! It’s definitely the nature of the beast. We just hope we are helping those that don’t really know how to do the repairs. We appreciate you sharing what you have done. It always helps those that read the comments! Even though there is always something to repair, it’s still worth it and so much fun! Thanks for watching and hope you have subscribed to our channel! Happy camping! 🤩
Thanks for making this video camping world was talking about me having to replace all the aluminum on that side. Bill was around 3500
@ericsanchez2445 We are so happy you di dnot replace all of the aluminim. Thanks for watching and happy camping! 😃
Excellent video!!! I think this is exactly what’s going on with my Forest River Shockwave! I just really hope the damages haven’t gone past the window. I will be attempting this project either this weekend or next. If anyone has any helpful tips I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you
@Amanda**** We are so sorry to hear the same has happened to you and happy our video has helped! Please let us know how it turns out. Thank you for watching! 🤩
Great job fixing it! Just as good as the warranty department would’ve done except about 6 months sooner! Unfortunately the price point of the pioneer leaves a lot of quality to be desired. Fiberglass siding would be much better, but unfortunately you really don’t understand why until you’ve experienced it. I’m learning myself… thanks for another great video!
@Luke Bramblett Thank you and yes, definitely got it done about 6 months sooner! 😂 We definitely learned that our next trailer will not be corrugated. We started small on purpose but will be upgrading in the near future! 🎉 We appreciate you as always! 😊We are learning together! 🥳
Very nice job, straight forward instruction and demonstration!
@GregoryWingham We appreciate your feedback & thanks for watching! 🤩
Thank you for the video. I need to do this in my toy hauler in virtually the same spot is yours. I’m a master mechanic, hehe, so I know I won’t have any issues unless I make them myself. Hehe.
@jaaoneddy8136 We know you will do an amazing job & will conquer this much better than the manufacturer! 😂 Thanks for watching & let us know how it turns out! 😀
Thanks for the info i have the same issue with my travel trailer now im going to repair it.
@Jared Hanebrink We are glad our video has been helpful & let us know how your repair goes. Thanks for watching! 🤩
I've had both kinds of trailer, and stick and tin is definitely better, because you can repair it so much more easily. With a fiberglass sided trailer, if it somehow gets wet inside the wall, the fiberglass delaminates, from the extremely thin plywood, and foam core, and you might as well just throw the trailer in the trash. Symptoms are, wrinkles and bulging in the siding. It is then a more than major repair. My Rockwood Minilite, only lasted 3 years, before I noticed it. I saw nothing wrong with the seals, and the floor totally rotted out under the slide out. I spent enough on the trailer, without spending another fortune 3 years later to fix it.
@jphnclarke8288 We definitely appreciate you taking time to comment and yes, we do hear that some people prefer the stick & tin but we do love the quality of our new trailer vs. the lack of quality of our last trailer. We absolutely respect your opinion and thank you for watching our video! Happy camping! 🚌😃
Thank you for sharing this I have a stick & tin good to know. If you had a fiberglass/composite panel trailer it would cost a pretty penny to replace the entire panel .
@nina_g6857 We are so happy to hear our video has helped and thanks for watching! Yes, it would cost more but more likely to stay intact if it were not stick & tin. 🤩
You were saying about "why staples" - I hate to say it, but it's about speed vs money. I used to work for a trailer manufacturer, and a lot (!) of people asked why on earth we nailed the interior paneling in, vs using screws. It took approximately 15 minutes to nail the interior in. 3-4 HOURS (depending on the length) to use screws. So it added over $400 to the wholesale cost of manufacture (time + screws are more). Nobody wanted to pay that much more at the retail point.
Oh, as for the repair you did - you could also use a wafer head screw as they're almost dead flat and have a very large head to spread the load.
@DrFiero Thank you for the tip & information! It’s really nice hearing from the inside how these are put together. It’s understandable about the time it would take to use screws vs. staples. Thanks for watching! 😃
You can install another stud horizontally and put multiple screws in it. Just ads a little extra weight, Just my 2 cents
@robbypro3370 Thanks for taking time to comment and watch our video! Great idea and that does add more support! 🤩
We have this issue right now. We can't go above 65 mph or the siding really flares out. Tahnk you for showing this process! We pay all this money for these cheaply built trailers. Sorry to say but they are all made this way. Even the fiberglass trailers. I had a guy tell me to seal the trim up the sides in front and along the roof back 4 feet or your roof siding will blow off. On the new fiberglass modesl also.
@TheMelaniebarber1 We are glad our video has helped & we definitely agree! We pay a lot for crap but we will continue because we like to camp! 😂 Thanks for watching & please let us know if you are able to fix your trailer yourself! 🤩
How did the repair hold up? Same thing happened with our 1 year old camper and I need it next weekend. Going to do the repair this weekend. Thanks for the video saved me alot of stress knowing it can be fixed at home somewhat easily!
@CanadianDad3278 We are so glad our video has helped! So far it has held up great! Please let us know how it goes if you do the repair! Thanks for watching our video! 🤩
Another great video. Thank you. While I agree that quality of construction is lacking, I rather like the ability to repair the aluminum siding myself, as opposed to something going wrong with the laminate siding, and having no choice but to take it in. I know the newer laminate is supposed to be better than the old, but I just can’t get past the older ones bubbling like I’ve seen so many do. Perhaps I’ll change my mind someday but I love the aluminum for that reason :). Thanks again!
@ybstuk That is a great point! We will be keeping ours for a couple years and definitely plan on doing a lot of research before making the choice on a new one. Thanks for watching our video and taking time to comment! We appreciate your feedback! 🤩
@@OutsidebySide glad to hear you’ll have this one for a couple years. It’s great seeing these ideas/projects on the exact same camper we have :)
@@ybstuk Yes! We are not in a hurry to get rid of it just yet. How is yours holding up?
@@OutsidebySide Very well. It’s only a couple months old though and we just had our first venture out last weekend. Kids and I love it. Still outfitting it the way we want. I have a wish list of things to do/buy. It’s going to be a good summer :)
@@ybstuk So happy to hear your first outing went great! We have several videos that can might be useful! Please reach out if we can help with anything. Happy camping! 🚌🪵
What an awesome video!!! New to RV life and this happened to us after one trip we had to take it to the show and had to cancel two trips because it took weeks. We're 60 in pretty good shape should have done better research we would have purchased a Lance vs a Keystone. Not sure at this point if we'll purchase another one 😕 but great video!!
@racyree3620 We are glad to hear that our video has been helpful and so sorry you had to wait weeks for the repairs. That was our main goal with this video and why we did it ourselves. We didn’t want to have to cancel our trips! 😂 We will not be buying another corrugated trailer again. 😭 Thanks for watching & happy camping! 🚌🥳
Sister a stud next to the existing. Use square drive bit.
@tp2315 Great idea! Thanks again!
Use pan heads next time. Great video.
@J.bagnell283 Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching! 😀
Put some pieces of wood the same size as your studs on the side of your studs so there doubled up the screw the screws in the wood you just ut in.
@rudy1574 Great idea! Thanks for taking time to comment & watch! 🤩
Thanks for the video. What kind of aluminum piece did you use as a washer? Any idea on thickness? Trying to see if I can get something similar at my local Lowe's but don't want it to be thicker than necessary.
@ArmatisReviews We used a piece of scrap .063 which worked at the time. After doing this ourselves, we would recommend adding a piece of wood on the side of the vertical wood stud and adding new screws or staples to that. Hindsight is 20/20! 😂 Thanks for watching! 😃
Great video we are be gifted a 35 foot travel trail that need some repairs like this thanks for the info.
@James Farrow We are so happy to hear our video has helped! Thanks for watching! 🤩
I liked the plate idea
@jamesautry7432 Thanks for watching! Happy camping. 🥳
Good job!!! Your right. Sadly build quality of US manufactured trailers suck!!! As consumers, I wish we access to European RV’s. They are fair superior in quality. The only thing remotely close, is the Airstream trailers.
@ToddB987 You are correct! The Airstreams are top notch quality! Thank you for watching & happy camping! 😀
Thank you for the video, great job
@Saundra Houston Thank you for watching! 😄
They make them this way so that they’re not heavy that’s why they’re cheaply put together. Everything is pretty lightweight inside of them and they do it for weight purposes. That’s why they make it so cheaply made they want to save on the weight of the unit that’s the general ideaand I would caution people about getting a weight distribution Barr put on your RV or travel trailer because it causes from what I’m seeing on UA-cam videos. It causes the A-frame to break eventually because the weight is distributed differently than what it was created for so be very careful with weight distribution bars.
@mariap.7907 We agree about the way the trailers are put together with some brands. We do however believe it is very important to use a WDH. You just need to account for the weight. Thanks for watching and happy camping! 😀
I had the same issue but instead, I put a 2”x2” horizontally between the vertical studs, right where the edge of the top piece ended. Instead of putting just a few screws, I was able to put in 10 horizontally. It’s stronger than the factory originally made it! Am I a genius ….maybe!
@GManKeepsItReal It sounds like you are a genius! 😂 Great information and thanks for watching! 😀
The reason for staples for the majority of the trailer is because most screws break if bent or flexed. Same reason why nails and screws are used for different builds
@NOtOriOus Yes, we agree but the main issue is the paper thin aluminum siding that’s ripping through the staples. Thanks for watching our video and taking time to comment! 🤩
Great video. I just discovered have the same issue on my FR TT. Following your video, I think I can save $2000! If I need to purchase a replacement piece of siding where would I go? You happen to have a link? Too much to ask for color matched? Thanks again!
@kelwinf We are happy to hear our video has been helpful and we would love to hear if you are able to repair your siding. We would recommend contacting your dealer for siding. Thanks for watching & happy camping! 😃
Use masking tap on both sides of the joint, and wipe sealant with wet finger. Do not use silicone. Use RV specific sealants. Silicone has no place on campers or boats.
@tp2315 Thanks for the tip! 😀
You can also add a piece of wood to make it wider there make it a wider contact area
@David Kraft We agree and thank you for your ideas and for watching our video! 🤩
Great video, and clever fix! Im going to try this, my XPLOR had this issue on our last trip. Did you use countersink screws, so as to not interfere with the panels fitting back together?
@ellisdee5248 It’s been a while but I believe we did use countersink screws! Thanks for watching! 🤩 Let us know how it turns out for you!
I enjoyed this video. I am searching for how to repair the very bottom of the walls?? It doesn’t have those strips sealing the wall that runs along the bottom up over the wheel well does but not where the bottom runs all the way down after n before the wheel trim. Any help with this would be appreciated
@Shay Childers We would love to help but not sure the situation without seeing it! Feel free to email us pics at info@outsidebyside.net and we will definitely try to help as much as possible!
we appreciate you watching our video! 🤩
Where can a person buy siding ours just ripped off some of it these weekend
@sandy phillips Our recommendation would be to contact a local RV dealer. We have not had to buy any yet so we haven’t had to look for it. Thank you for watching our video! 🤩
Easy fix attach nailers to the stud and attach the siding to the nailer
@jamesautry7432 We agree! 🤩
where would you find replacement corrugated siding panels?
@ericdemmer4193 definitely your local RV dealer. We have also found it on EBay. Thanks for watching and hope the video was helpful! 😀
I have a loose piece of siding on my Forrest River and was quoted $1600 by General RV to fix it. Seems way too high!
@leannarollins8638 That does seem high! Maybe get another quote. They will most likely replace a larger section than need be. Please let us know what you decide to do and thanks for watching! 🤩
I have puncture spot on my travel trailer. Is there a fix for aluminium siding
@marysadery9392 We also have a puncture. We recommend duct tape or replace the section of aluminum with a new piece. Hope you are able to repair it. 🤩
Great video, how many miles do you think you had on the trailer before the issue started?
@outdoorsful-living We would say 10K minimum but the wind was extremely rough when this happened. Thanks for watching! 😀
Keep in mind not all stick and tin rigs are created equal. The most expensive non-slide, non-production travel trailer just happens to be stick and tin. Taylor Coach out of Ontario Canada builds the finest stick and tin trailers. Far superior than any fiberglass rigs built in this country.
@ourvlife7548 Thanks for the information. We will look further into Taylor Coach. Ours is entry level and the craftsman is not great. Thanks for watching & taking time to share this information! 🤩
the damn plywood is even staple to 1x1 CRAZY!!
@Saundra Houston It is crazy! They do try to make them as light as possible but still! 😭
Cool trick is glass cleaner. spray it on the silicone and your finger. Then smoothen away
@nicholasmcbride8137 Great tip! Thanks for watching our video & thanks for sharing! 🤩
The biggest issue with factories using staples is the grunts over sink them.
@MoParRus340 Yes, staples that are too deep and too many in one spot that go nowhere and weaken the wood. Thanks for watching! 🤩
I just bought a fema travel trailer and the same thing happened to me on the drive home from the auction site. You said a better way would be using construction adhesive on the framing, but you didn't do that. Do you have a reason why not?
@quietbrianquiet8274 We are sorry to hear this has happened to you! We do feel the liquid nails would be more support if you have it. We just didn’t have any at the time & didn’t stop to buy any. Thanks for watching! 🤩
Looks like I have spots starting about my storage door. And then some spots up top. Would starting at the bottom and working my way up be easier putting it back together? Or was it not that hard to put back without damaging?
&Anniecrazy It wasn’t hard but it was time consuming! It would most likely be easier to start from the bottom but we don’t want to give you advice we are not sure of. Ours was in one concentrated area which made it easier. Good luck & please let us know the outcome! Thanks for watching! 🤩
How come nobody mentioned all the missing insulation?
@Thomas K Thanks for mentioning that! The lack of insulation could be it’s own video! We reached our max complaint limit on this video! 😂 Thanks for watching! 🤩
certified RV technician here, missing insulation
is extremely common unfortunately . whether you buy a10k pull behind or a 100k they're pretty much the same
What about screwing a 4" pce of 2x3 to the existing stud on each side then just re staple or put screws.
@Fix Anything That would work as well! Thank you for your idea & thanks for watching our video! 🤩
How come you didn't use liquid nail, to stick it a little better? Just wondering cause you suggested it ? What made you change your mind ?
@rickylaw8178 Great question! We felt the screws were adequate to keep it secure but feel as though the manufacturer should use liquid nails during the assembly. Thanks for watching! 🤩
@@OutsidebySide I've got to do this to my travel trailer. It's only 2 years old. Got it covered up waiting on weather to clear.
@@rickylaw8187 We would recommend using screws and liquid nails both for more security. Please let us know how it goes for you! Best of luck! 🤩
How is your repair holding up after all this time?
@meaganskipski3322 We have sold our camper for a new one but we never had any issues after! The work we did held up the entire time! Thanks for watching & happy camping! 😀
I will keep my 2007 and keep her updated, I definitely will not purchase a new rig!!
@Saundra Houston Sounds like a great plan! It’s probably built better! 😂
Put a bead of silicone on the corner trim before attaching it. Voila
@BrandonShaffer-fk8ji Thanks for the tip! 🤩
Could this be the cause that I can see the aluminum siding bowed out when driving (wind getting there)? Same front corner in your video. When not driving, the siding goes flat again.
@shortfuse011 Yes, this could definitely be the issue. The same happened to us! Hope the video helps! 🤩
@@OutsidebySide It certainly makes me feel a little more confident in taking a look inside after watching your video. Thank you.
@@shortfuse011 so glad to hear! Please let us know if we can help with any questions! 😄
They’ve always used staples. Forever. And screws are not the answer. Liquid nails wouldn’t do anything.
@MoParRus340 We respect your opinion and thank you for taking time to comment. The nails have worked great for us. Thanks for watching! 🤩
How much would using screws instead of staple have cost the manufacturer? Maybe $100.00 more per trailer probably. I just don't get it.
@Knuckle Busters DIY We agree completely! It would not be that much harder! Thank you for watching! 🤩
wonder why you did not use your idea of liquid nails when you had it opened up? then do your repair.
@durangodave We felt our method worked great! Thanks for watching! 🤩
Same thing happened to ours. I just noticed. We have had nothing but issues with our 264bh Jayco that I wish we wouldnt have purchased it. AC unit stopped working 3x, hitch light doesnt work, tail light has moisture in it, backflow valve for black tank leaked, and now a orange runner light flrew off on road and siding popping out. Very poor quality camper. We will never buy another.
@Christopher Greenawait We are so sorry to hear you have had these issues! We have had several as well but we have decided we love the travel trailer life and will be looking for another trailer soon. The campers could definitely be made so much better! Thanks for watching our video & we hope you don’t give up on camping! 🤩
This is so sad, all of us rv'ers need to complain of how sorry these RV's are built for the money we pay!

Build quality gives the “stick and tin” bad name.
Look you can fix it yourself. May not be fun but at least you can fix it just keep that in mind.
@chris2pher44 Yes, we totally agree with you. Thanks for watching! 🤩
I suppose you get what you pay for?
I also own a Pioneer & know they are build by Heartland exclusivlely for Camping world & are made cheaper than many I assume?
@TheWebWheeler We agree and ready for something else! Thanks for watching! 🤩
The level of cheap construction wherever they can hide it from your view in and out of a travel trailer is UNBELIEVABLE. I decided to fill in all the cracks and voids in the floor and walls to lock out bugs. the crap that was left behind and under panels in my travel trailer and utter disregard for quality work and good parts.... just absolute garbage construction.
@rps714 We agree and glad to hear you were able to make some repairs. Thanks for watching! 🤩
Corner seams should be sealed with multi thermal urethane tape , try again
@axelzilm778 Thank you for watching our video and taking time to comment and give our community another tip. We appreciate you! Our trailer has held up great but in the event we need more repairs, we will definitely take this into consideration. Thanks again! 🤩
