Don't let collimation scare you off a truss dob, you will need to do it regularly with a solid tube dob too. For any truss dob it's just a quick part of the setup routine, I hardly even notice doing it with my dob anymore. A 12" solid tube is pretty big to fit into most cars.
Otherwise, yes, get a Telrad and a copy of the Pocket Sky Atlas. After that invest in just two good eye pieces - something around 50 to 70x magnification and something around 120x to 180x.
