It is the weight or the size which is the problem? As Allan said, a collapsible dob will probably save you some space, but the weight is still going to be comparable (or more, if you decide to go GOTO). There is a decent amount of weight/volume in the skywatcher dob bases, so if you wanted something more compact you may need to look at some sort of alt/az or eq tripod mount. This may involve a slight reduction in your aperture though - "cost effective" tripod mounts only seem to cater for tubes of 3"-6" aperture - more than this, or with GOTO, and you're starting to look at some hefty dollars compared to your current dob.
