Steamed up windows

[PhilMary]

Has anybody got a solution to avoid/get rid of steamed up windows?

On a nice sunny day pull the vent plugs (you can see one at the top right in your photo) out and leave for a few hours.
Acrylic is microporous that is the reason you get the problem.

Assume its inside window.. the answer I got when a tugger was to remove the wee plastic plug ( visible top right in photo) and park in sun and let heat dissipate moisture in window to escape and then replace plug..
Used to work for our c'van.. .
Ah... beaten by Lenny HB .. Again..

The courting couples up our lane leave the windows open so you get a better view in

Windows open, lights on dim with interior light on is the one to look out for.

So a friend told me

On the roof of course, then everyone interested can spot it easier! (or so I'm told?)

Years ago when I was a kid in the back of a steamed up estate car some stupid cop came knocking and in spite of seeing what we were up to asked all the usual questions-why are you parked here sir? (parking spot in Salcey Forest) is this your car sir? etc.
We couldn’t stop giggling about it!

Karcher window vac...... clears all condensation even after a work out so I have been reliably informed.

Not when the condensation is in between the double glazing...
As per OP's problem

I watched a Matt Rissinger YouTube sketch talking about how older buildings breathe and modern buildings are built differently. I learned so much from his video.
He went on to explain that in a modern build, which would be the same for a motorhome, it needs to be as airtight as possible - like a submarine, to control heat. However, you then need tone able to facilitate breathing by introducing air under your control, not via a leaky van.

Made complete sense to me. So my van build - as airtight as possible but with plenty of ventilation via max air fan, or two, air heating, opening doors, and I have only one of my 7 windows as an opener.

We get condensation on our expensive double glazed windows at home so very unlikely to avoid it in a van. You could argue that it is a good sign that you don’t have a leaky van?

Decided not to do moisture barrier as the jury is out - in my reading.

Using my van ( not ready yet) in winter, would concern me. I noticed how much water drips off the ceiling in the cold mornings when I go in to work on it for 10 minutes. We are talking cup fulls. Not sure the best insulation will stop all that winter condensation?
