Is there anything I should be aware of for transporting full corney kegs besides keep them upright? I'm looking at taking two over to PEI in October for a wedding. Do you chill, carbonate, transport and rechill with no issues? My main concern is it warming up after being carbonated.

It's fine. Just chill them down when you get there, if possible. The carbonation might be a bit messed up as the CO2 comes out of solution, but that's about it. It's a good practice to bleed off the CO2 immediately before hooking it back up to your gas-in line, to be sure it doesn't do anything bad.
And you can definitely transport them on their side, as long as they are leak-tight.

Right on, thanks! That's around what I was thinking. Good to hear it from experience though.

The only thing about leaving them upright is you won't disturb any sediment. As per my previous thread, you can actually run them over with an SUV if you so desire.

Good to know, I hope to not personally verify anything of this sort

...or Shelley does.

Milk crates work great.

Beer is milk for grownups, so this makes sense.

You'll always get sediment re suspended when travelling, but you can either let it settle, rack to a serving keg before you travell, or not
worry about a little sediment.
I don't worry about it much and just secure the keg to the front seat back to keep it upright and hope the good officers of the law don't know
what they are looking at if I'm ever hauled over.

I've never had sediment problems when keeping the kegs upright. It is always tight to the bottom, but I know sloshing it around on it's side is going to stir it up.
