Internal door and windscreen blinds are renowned for creating condensation on the glass.
Just use the external one.

We tend to use both internal blinds and an exterior cover, never had condensation in the cab (but our cover is the more expensive original 'silver screen') not sure what the Maypole is like for thickness.
Tend also to drop it half way during day so we can see out. Also use it on very hot days to keep a bit of heat out.

I disagree. I've never had any significant amount of condensation on the windscreen when using either the internal, external or both covers.
Maybe it's dependant on the van, the weather or the make of screens. Just do whatever works best for you.

We used a Taylormade screen cover for 11 years and used it regardless of the time of year. Can't see any issue with using the pleated blinds as well. In cold weather it might even help to do so?

Maypole are cheap for a reason
They don’t possess the same thermal qualities as the likes of Taylor made , Silverscreens or Polar Technologies.
Spend a bit more and you won’t be dissatisfied with the quality and you won’t suffer any condensation in really cold weather with both internal screens and external fitted

We use a Silverscreens cover and we draw the internal sunblinds because they look better than the back of the cover. We've never experienced condensation doing this.
We experienced condensation when we were last out just 2 weeks ago, we normally take the Silverscreen cover out for the summer (never felt the need for it with the internal sunblinds), but we'd forgotten to put it back for the last trip, we'd obviously crossed over the point in the year when it was cold enough at night for condensation to form inside.
With our first couple of motorhomes we used internal silver screens, they weren't as good as the external covers as we still got condensation.
