Sensata manufacturers Dimensions Unlimited inverters. My understanding is that they're a big player in the mobile market - not RVs, but utility and service trucks. I'm concerned that they won't understand the unique needs of the off grid market and won't follow the advice of those already at Magnum who do. I was told that Clyde Yamamoto was to have remained in an advisory role for a year or so following the sale, but ended up leaving after one day. Allan
