Just so you don't worry when you see the photos...

We spent our second night camping on the Nullabor at Balladonia Roadhouse, 200kms from Norseman, WA (the end of the Nullabor).  In the morning the Troopy wouldn't start!  We called RAC (Thanks again Trudy for the membership!), and they organised a tow truck to come from Norseman to pick us up.  We waited a few hours, then Lew came to our rescue.  There was another couple who's caravan had broken something to do with it's axle so they needed a tow too.  We arrived in Norseman close to 4 pm so there wasn't much time to look at the troopy before the mechanic closed.   RACT payed for a night's accommodation while we waited for the car so we got to sleep in a proper bed!  The next morning the mechanic fixed the car within a few hours so we were back on our way.
