Hi @Lisa Pemberton welcome aboard !

I use one very large hold-all for everything.

The compressor sits at one side, Recovery ropes and shackles in the middle , I put the tools in a small backpack , the jack and wrench in another , which sit on the right hand side and small pieces deflators etc are in the hold-all pockets. The shovel sits on top of it all with the handles of the hold-all keeping it in place and then  I then use one of those nets hooked down really tightly to secure the hold-all

Below is the clear picture of what I did to keep everything safe in place. 
hope will be helpful.

Thank you @Foxtrot Oscar @Yousef Alimadadi and @topgear for the advice and the visuals. Really appreciate seeing these solutions. I like the storage box solution with net for extra safety. Time to go shopping again!

Although I use a web net I bought from Ace hardware, I have a friend who packed everything in one of his old working suitcase. He took it to a mechanic and screwed the suitcase to the floor of the boot. That seemed to hold everything in place. I so wanted to create a custom box with labelled draws for everything, but the cost, weight and space it would take up got me to think again.

As for the radio, cup holder is normally a very good fit in my Pathy.

Boxes are great idea for storage. Less movement in your trunk and easy to store your equipment. Also you get a extra of just grabing up your box before the drive and be on the road and your trunk doesn't stay full for the whole week.

@luwaimn and @Mohamed Seidam what capacity/size boxes are you using and what can you fit inside? I'm looking at them on amazon right now for pricing. I like the idea of the grab and go boxes rather than keeping everything in the trunk all the time. Also, any recommendations for the nets or ratchet straps or are they pretty much similar in terms of sizing and quality?

Better try ace in Dubai. They have more good ones and you will be better able to judge when you see them.

Honestly I hate giving my money to ACE cos they are so over-priced for everything!
