[RE-wrenches] mate issues AND MORE ISSUES

[Matt Tritt]

Actually you aren't the /only /two! I have had very similar problems 
with at least three OB systems in the last year or so. In every case, 
everything seemed to work perfectly when I was there, but within 2 or 3 
days there would be a call saying that the generator wasn't coming on 
(always in the middle of the night). One owner would start pushing 
buttons willy-nilly, so it all had to be reprogrammed every visit. This 
problem has cuased a lot of irritation and at least one lawsuit 
involving a dealer - who now won't attempt ANY off-grid work at all. 
Surely this is just a software problem that could be rectified without 
majorly re-work of the Mate?
