MEADE 12"LX90GPS

Hello my friends !
I just got a 12" Meade LX90GPS and I'm having problems already.
When I bought it I didn't realized that the thing is very big and uncomfortable to carry around.
I'm afraid of damaging the screw that attaches the telescope to the tripod. Many things going on !!!
Is there any way to keep the telescope assembled and use something such a dolly to move it around so I don't have to assemble the thing every time I go outside?
thanks,
Alvaro Garay

One possibility is to check into a scopebuggy. Do a search and you will find it. May work, depending on where you are able to store the scope, preferably in garage with a scopebuggy. I have also seen some pretty nice wheels that can be attached to the tripod leg ends. Do a search on Astromart and you will find them.

Thanks
Brock

Thanks for your help !
I ordered a ScopeBuggy. total price $307.00 including S&H, and a tray for the power supply.
I'll have it in two weeks.

Thanks again,
