“The Retreat” is the perfect power solution for those who need to get-away without forgoing the amenities of civilized life. In power terms, The Retreat is capable of powering everything except resistive loads (ovens, toasters, hair-dryers, baseboard heaters etc).

Occasional automatic cycling of a sound-dampened generator during programmed nonquiet times allows for drastically reduced fuel consumption and noise pollution compared to standard generator-only power solutions.
