I'd suggest you leave the dogs at home in their outside kennel with daily care or find a relative willing to board them. If you're adamant about taking the dogs with you, they should have a period of training in their new settings that acclimates them.
You are not going to be doing your dogs any favors by taking them for a long lock up in a vehicle and then kenneling them in a TT that they are not used to, their first instinct will be to tear their way out of the TT the first time you leave.
I raised German Shepherds and trained them for a while. We even did training for people with pet issues. You and your dogs could do with some training, by reading your post. Inappropriate chewing and barking can be eliminated with proper training.
