My grease gun is manual, so less bulky. I just wrap it up and a good heavy-duty lawn and leaf bag and tuck it in a corner of the front compartment (on the opposite side from the batteries).

I don't carry my gun with me when I travel. Do it before I leave and when I come back. Of course, I'm a weekender, so no need to figure out how to carry it. But, if I was carrying it, I'd get Lock and Lube branded gun, they have a zerk on the gun so you can connect back to itself, one less thing to smear grease around (and, if you've never used it, you will LOVE their coupler!). I have 5 grease guns now and, like some others, buy it by the case. Tractors/farm equip goes through a LOT of grease. I have a Dewalt 20V gun and a few manuals. For travel, I'd never consider the powered gun, it's way overkill to hit the 10-15 zerks on the trailer. Just get a good manual gun, wrap it in plastic, and use a lot of gloves!

Don't overthink the problem. I carry mine double wrapped in a heavy weight trash bag with an oil absorbent sheet in the bottom of the primary bag. Many years and miles of travel, never had a problem.
