Window condensation

[Andy Norfolk]

I've read some old threads on here about this but just wanted some opinions. Our van will soon be 2 years old. It will have it's last hab check in a couple of weeks before the warranty expires. I've a couple of things for them to fix under the warranty. But on our last 2 trips I've noticed some condensation between the two window sheets on the front windows. It goes away. Mainly happens when we have the blinds down and it's hot. Is this a sign of something I should flag under the warranty, or is it fairly normal?

Thanks for your views.

Never ever have the blinds fully down in hot sunshine as the trapped heat could cause the windows to warp. The condensation thing is quite common and nothing to worry about. Sometimes by removing the bung, it can allow some moisture to escape, but inserting the bung back in can be problematic.

The windows aren’t hermetically sealed units like domestic double glazing and it’s something I’ve experienced on my caravans including new ones. As you say it tends to be limited to certain circumstances. It can be reduced by removing the plugs on the window edge when the weather is warm and replacing before the ambient cools down. But it will come back again over time.
