I've had good luck traveling with mine, I check the collimation and its surprisingly not as bad as you'd think it might be after traveling. Never had any lose bolts, I remove the finder scope and telrad and have the focuser draw tube all the way in.
I put the camping mattress in the car, a sleeping bag on the mattress and the scope on that, place a couple of pillows around the tube then a dooner over the top. Tuck it into bed nice for the trip
