Dear Listers,

I'm in the market for a top-notch canopy cover for the RV-8. I'm wanting the highest quality materials and workmanship on the product. I want it for overnight trips where it might rain so it needs to completely cover the front baggage door. When folded up, I don't want it to completely fill the limited rear baggage area in the RV-8, either.

I Google RV-8 Canopy Cover as well as looked at Van's Online catalog, and there seems to be plenty of "options", but I'm looking for some empirical data on quality, fit, and stowage.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I've used AviationCovers.com out of Arlington, Washington and have been extremely happy.  They just made a set of Hangar Jammies for the RV-7 and they're great.  My "traveling" strap on canopy cover is light enough but weather resistant.  It covers the tip up hinge opening area as well and keeps things dry.  Got to get it tight, though, or it flaps.

Matt,

I and several of the other RV'ers at LVK have used the Cleveland Tool canopy covers for several years and like them a lot. Very light weight and seem to be completely water proof. I don't know about the RV-8 cover, you'd have to call Cleveland and ask about covering the forward baggage opening.
