If, like me, you do the former, then ideally you would collimate regularly - some would even say every time you set up. If its the latter, then it needn't be done as regular.
I only move it in & out of the house, when it's not being used I leave it set up in the study, when I am using it I just move it to the backyard.

However I did just take it away with me over the long weekend (to a dark sky area. It was FANTASTIC!) when traveling in the car I put it in the styrene holder it came in when I bought it, so it's secure when in transit.
