When i bag the rays in rubbermaids I just use the bag to help keep any water from splashing out of the rubbermaid. 2-3 bags is fine but since its in a rubbermaid its not going to leak.... the main reason is just to make sure it doesnt splash up on any corners or stops.
what is the best way to transport rays?

Starve the ray for 3 days before shipping it the net it out and put it in a polybox
Seal the box make a small hole in the top feed a air line in the box with a air stone then get a battery powered air pump turn it on and of you go
I have moved many rays like this with no problems

Midnights idea is absolutely rock-solid. Heating? Just keep your car warm, 68-70 degrees for 400 miles in no big deal at all. Rays are hardier then people give them credit for. You will need an inverter ($12-$40) depending what you find.
All in all, very simple, very cheap, very reliable.
