Those are great compartment ideas, Ruairidh. As an expedition canoeist(open Canadian) I am impressed by your ingenuity in fitting it all in. My former expedition car was a modern (Toyota Corolla Estate) and it made a number of trips from the PNW to the Yukon and the NWT and back carrying many as three canoes and gear for three weeks. There is a lot of wasted space on many cars, both in the past and today.
