Hi, BIO stands for Bruce, Irene and Oliver (our dog). We have been caravanning neatly all our married life, over 50 years and have travelled twice around Aus. As well as many trips in WA, we live in Busselton SW WA. Is anybody using the Satking flat panel satellite dish? Love to hear from if you are.
