I used to carry my solid tube 12" GSO in a 6x4 trailer. All I did was put a piece of carpet in the bottom of the trailer, then put the scope on the two end pieces of foam out of the packing. Never had any trouble, even over dirt roads with corrugations. But I never went "off-road". Collimation was never much affected (but had much firmer primary mirror springs in place.).
I had to put a canopy over it since it was too tall to close the normal trailer lid. Made a mess of my fuel consumption :-(
