Jack,
In Australia we have Dianne McNamara owner of Punkinhead Covers. She makes outstanding quality covers for all RV's, lightweight travel covers, and heavy duty covers for 24/12 outdoor storage. All covers are made with micro cloth protective inner liners. Guarantees her work. Added bonus for you guys in the USA is our dollar is so weak against the USD you buy price is a bargain. Check out her website. Punkinhead Covers is a sponsor of RV Aircraft Australia (RVAA) https://punkinheadair.com.au/

E-mail I just received from Dianne McNamara (2024 30Sept);
Yes, we do make covers for the RV-12 and we do have a lightweight and a slightly heavier option for the covers. If the aircraft is going to be outside only on trips away and is mainly in the hangar the lightweight felt lined silver coated polyester cover is suitable.
If the aircraft is going to be outside for extended periods of time I recommend the slightly heavier WeatherMax surface guard which has a knitted polyester lining and a 5 year warranty against fading from UV so it is excellent for protecting your aircraft long term.
I have the prices and approximate weights listed below. All prices are in Australian Dollars and they include registration on the side and a storage bag.
Lightweight silver coated felt backed polyester - AU$550. Freight to the Netherlands AU$80 weight approximately 2 kgs
WeatherMax surface guard permanent outdoor fabric - AU$650. Freight to the Netherlands AU$90 and weight approximately 2.5 kg.
This is the light weight canopy only cover.
This is the WeatherMax fabric on a full set of RV-12 covers - not what you are after, I know but just to show you what can be done.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
