My 12 is kept in the garage fully extended and I just use a parcel trolley with strap to bring it out to my observing location in my Car Bay Area 6m away.
Complemented with my Televue eye pieces, Paracorr and Powermates it has plenty of light gathering power to resolve loads of celestial objects and is a joy to view the planets
I do observe under Bortle 3/4 skies which is an advantage

Thank you Martin. So the jump from 10 inch to 12 inch has worked out good for you. I will consider this also. Thanks!
