Vehicle recovery equipment storage arrangement

A mounting arrangement for securing vehicle recovery equipment to a vehicle, the mounting arrangement comprising:

• an anchor system configured to be coupled to a vehicle;
• a strap being movable relative to a releasable connector between a retained position and a deployed position, wherein in the retained position, the strap extends around at least a part of the vehicle recovery equipment to retain the vehicle recovery equipment to the anchor system, and in a deployed position, the releasable connector is configured to at least partially release the strap to disengage the vehicle recovery equipment;
• and
• a deployment strap configured to facilitate the disengagement of the vehicle recovery equipment to apply a force to a part of the strap to facilitate at least partial release of the strap relative to the releasable connector to the deployed position.

A method of mounting vehicle recovery equipment to a vehicle, the method including:

• coupling an anchor system of a mounting arrangement to the vehicle, the mounting arrangement including a strap extending between a free end and a securable end, the securable end is fixed to the anchor system;
• extending the free end of the strap around at least a part of the vehicle recovery equipment to retain the part of the vehicle recovery equipment;
• extending the strap through an attachment member secured to the anchor system to define a first loop of the strap extending around the part of the vehicle recovery equipment;
• extending the strap from the attachment member around a further part of the vehicle recovery equipment to define a second loop of the strap and securing the free end of the strap at a releasable connector,
• wherein the first loop and the second loop secure the vehicle recovery equipment to the mounting arrangement by providing balanced and tensioned points of contact relative to the recovery equipment.
