As Malcolm says, keep the packaging. I've only kaken my 12" Dob out of town once. I have an 1986 Nissan D21 KingCab ute with a pickup body. I put the OTA in the foam packaging between the wheel hubs with blankets jammed at either end and an old sleeping bag on the top. I also had the taunao (Spelling?) cover over the top. I put the base on the passenger's seat which was laid back.
About 3km of road was very corrugated (around 20 - 30kph max) near the destination. But everything worked OK when I set up.
