We do an annual 4WD trip every year - and we do really serious stuff.
I've taken my C6 + NEQ6 on every trip to almost all of the central Australian deserts. After hours and hours of those dreadful corrugations, I always expect something to have fallen off or at least for it to lose collimation, but no - it just hangs in there.
I used to pack the OTA in the original shipping box + styrofoam, but now just use a Pelican case.
Once saw a lunar eclipse while camped on the banks of the Diamantina river out of Birdsville - magic desert skies!
