I got sheets of 50mm rigid insulation (The foam one with foil on each side cause its fireproof too) and stuck them to the roof of my van with expanding foam. Worked a treat, and stops the gear freezing so quick on cold days too!

I've tried the opening the window trick and the van doesn't have a vent(wish it did) I even had the heater on overnight to keep it at bay. I'm not sure it didn't make it worse  ::) I was thinking of a bowl of salt maybe to absorb the moisture............anyone tried that????

cut a mushroom vent into the roof of the van, it creates movement of air which stops it  ( or thats what they say )
