What car do you drive ... or, how do you move your scope around?

At a squeeze I can get my 20 inch scope into our Honda Odyssey. But to reduce stress, and fit some passengers in the car, I make use of a 7'x4' high sides trailer. Works a treat!

I fit my 10" F 4.9 dob on the back seat in an insert made from the original carton..(cut down as much as possible with the foam inserts glued in)..a home-made mount sits behind the front passengers seat while the rest of the gear including tent, etc and the foodstuffs, stove reside in the boot...the vehicle is a 1991 falcon sedan..and I still have room to spare!!!
Cheers!

I usually move my 16" with attaching wheelbarrow handles to the base.
It can comfortably fit into my 1992 Mitsubishi Verada Station Waggon

I cart my 10"Dob around in my wifes Lx8 Holden Adventura,heaps of room
or when she needs it i pop it in the back of my Rodeo 4x4, my inlaws live on over 2000 really dark acres in Gippsland so i normaly cart it out there, only 20 mins up the road...

Rod, if I can fit my 20", eq platform, a passenger, an esky, eyepieces, scope covers etc into a Holden Astra, you should have no trouble fitting your 20 into a Honda Odyssey.
