That's pretty impressive, I had a 350 ci Chevy day van in my 20's and I only got 8-10mpg with that.I used to get 14mpg with the RV , but as soon as you go all Wheel drive , fuel consumption goes up markedly![]()
It is awesome I really like it....And it's very well built , I'd love a look inside but not sure if it would be a bit cheeky sayingI used to get 8mpg from my RV had it up to 12 mpg on a big run once. But would not go where that one would. Loving that, get to all the surf spots others could not.![]()

But petrol was 63p a litre then
Aye but what was a weeks wage lolIt was about 10p a litre when I was 20................![]()
Used to get that out of a 44 tonne truckBUSBYGot about 9 mpg with our RV (8.1 litre Vortec V8). The LPG conversion made it a bit cheaper to run.
They can lie on the sofas
Will be a couple of nights greif but will get there
Maybe- dogs don't always understand the logic of unlearning.- I think it smacks of unreasonable treachery to them
Not to mention demotion, remember alphas only share their beds with other alphas.
You gave them the promotion.

Good luck with that !They can lie on the sofas

None of this litre nonsence
Lived in a cardboard box in the middle of the roadIt was about 10p a litre when I was 20................![]()
That's a common response from dogs that sleep on their human's beds, it's one of the most common factors in dogs showing aggression toward their owners.
You are not alone Tam.
I believe it is one of the rare occasions when instant return aggression is called for. Short,sharp, over and done with, as would be handed out by the pack leader.
What about biting? I usually snarl lolIndeed, mine try it on sometimes in the night, with me or each other, as soon as I shout at them all returns to normal, I never smack them, even if they are half my body weight each!
Shall we open a book on it?That won't be happening lol
No they've never snapped or anything, jade just does a growling grumble type thing when I move her ...Have either of them actually snapped at you Tam?
Many years ago I knew a female dog trainer who was very effective, if a little unorthodox.
Her punishment, instant retribution, was to grasp the dog by the loose skin either side of the neck ( below their ears )and shake them vigorously. (Sufficiently to lift their front feet off the ground ).She would then release them and without a word or look march swiftly away.
The chastised dog would invariably rush to follow closely "at heel " never repeating it's misdemeanour.
She even used this method on dogs that routinely ignored the "recall " command.
She would call or whistle once , if ignoredwould then walk after them for as long as required, get hold of them, shake them and march away.
I never saw a dog ignore her a second time.
We still do.............. mpg ................. miles per gallon![]()
Well it's tough out there in the job market lol
But they aren't content getting a spot on the bed they have to abuse it ...jade even growls if you dare move her so it's about time they remembered their place
Try doing that with a 90Kg Great DaneHave either of them actually snapped at you Tam?

Shaking is perhaps the wrong word, "grasping firmly" might be more accurate, the head is definitely not being shaken,more like control of the body is being taken from the dog more like one dog would do to another.No they've never snapped or anything, jade just does a growling grumble type thing when I move her ...
Isn't shaking a dog a bit like shaking a baby ?
Try doing that with a 90Kg Great Danes
Great Danes don't weigh 90kg from birth.
A bit like children the "pecking order" needs establishing early in the relationship. When hopefully it can be done with a look or a tone of voice.
Well I originally only allowed jade to come in for a cuddle in the morning when I first got her and that's what we did all last year on my travels.Tam
I thought you were crazy allowing it in the first place - 'rod for own back' etc.

In the Uk all the mway marker posts are in kms & tenth markers yet everything else is in miles ?I always loved the Irish approach - for years the distances were in km and the speed limits in mph! Only in Ireland!
