Campervan imaging kit

Hi all

I'm still a novice imager that struggles for time, so enjoy taking kit with me on camping holidays. However, I've just downsized from a big touring caravan to a Ford Tourneo (Transit) camper and need to travel light (three of us and a dog).

So, I'm wondering what the best kit to take would be, and ideas for storing. Everything I have is in big flight cases (apart from the mount). I'm prepared to get a smaller mount if that is the consensus. 

My first trip will be to Kelling Heath over the August new moon. I'm thinking maybe go widefield (which I've never done) to get some good stuff in the bag. Here's the main kit I have:

80mm Zenithstar II ED

WO FLT 110 Triplet

Lunt 60mm solar

CPC925 (deforked)

Ioptron IEQ45 with portable pier (head is in a padded case)

Photo tripod

Atik 314L+filter wheel

EOS 5D (inc wide angles and APO F2.8 70-200)

Mono Imaging Source

Various standalone or PC-based guiders

Herschel Wedge

So, main thoughts are around which scopes (or just camera and lenses), mount and ways to carry the scopes without the big flight cases.

Thanks!

Nick
