Hi There
A couple of years ago had same case with giving advise to someone, after advising him to get a dob. He then traded in on 6'' equatorial with the idea of picking it up complete and carring it outside.The thing he found after getting it he could not get the tripod past the back door,he now uses binoculars.
The Dob would be the easiest grab and go design scope available only two parts to consider and maybe its the weight(base&tube) of the 10 dob that is the problem for you not the setup.
Regards
Dave
