The only condensation we get on the windows, is on the outside. I went to a lot of trouble to insulate the house well, seal it up completely, then to add forced ventilation at the points it was needed. An automatic ventilation fan in the bathroom, comes on when you walk in, plus humidity sensing. A cooker hood sucks all the moisture from cooking directly outside. The only place where clothes are dried in the house, is in the utility, which I fitted out with lines, plus a fan and a dehumidifier to dry the air. That works a lot cheaper and a lot better than a dryer in weather too poor to hang stuff out.

They're plastic windows. There are parts to the caravan that run along the sides that are metal for the folding mechanism, that obviously doesn't help as it remains colder than the rest!
Here's a pic of the old thing! Quirky like me and my cars lol! |

It is not that old then.. I think all you can do is ventilate, mop up and live with it. Even in my caravan, I always open a couple of trickle vents for the night, in addition to the fixed vents - if the air is still.

It's a 90's van Just looking at a small Ebac dehumidifier. (Secondhand) I wonder if that would be enough to sort it!
