has anyone installed a second skyview in a RV-12, if so what was
required?

Yes I did and it works great. I flew about 25 hours with it.
The available power is scarce so you have to take care.
I have all options installed such as lighting, autopilot and ADSB as well.
In cruise the average power consumption is slightly less than 80% of the available alternator current. (Options all on)
I intalled a power switch for the fuel pump which is only on during take off and landing saving about 2 amps which is about equal to the SV1000 consumption.
All Rotax driven planes i know have this fuelpump switching system so can do no harm.
I installed a separate fuse and main switch for the SV and did not equip this with a back up battery.
All you have to do besides this is install interconnect network and ethernet cables to SV #1 and parallel the GPS and transponder to the same serial ports.
Let me know if you need more info.
I updated the wiring diagram in Autocad.
