now im new to caravanning and purchased a new van for my family last year , having used it a few other the winter period we all went away over easter and enjoyed some warmer weather which was nice , but i have noticed the windows on which the sun pitches get some kind of condensation on them well more in them which then disappears when the tempertures dropped , i did notice this on a few other vans but wondered what caused it and does it need more investigation .

thanks

Mositure has entered between the 2 panels when it happens remove the small rubber bungs near the top of the window & it may evaporate.

we have had the same problem when the sun comes out, were abouts are these rubber bungs and how big are they and what colour cos try as i might i cant see them

are they on every window

we have a bailey 500/5 2007 - just bought in march

thanks

Is it wet on the inside of the windows?  We get this in our 'van but having all the windows on the catch all the time even overnight does seem to help a little but there is still condensation in the mornings.  I open all the windows for a while until it has cleared.  It's the same with condensation in our house.

thanks will have a look tomorrow , in the middle of the windows or the edges?

hahahha

Be careful when trying to remove the bungs in the windows.  They can fall inside the two panes of plastic of the window and they are a devil to get out once this happens. 

I have been trying to buy a replacement "bung" for one of our windows for ages but can't seem to find any.

the bungs are in the top corners , on the inside, to remove the bungs use a blunt round ended table knife or a tea spoon, carefully prise them out.

the space between the two window panels needs to dry out, this may clear on its own or you may need to assist it,

you can do this by using a hairdryer ON COLD , borrow one of your wifes small funels from the kitchen, put the thin end where the bung hole is and blow air through with the hairdryer  on cold and slow.

you should see the condensation clear gradually, then replace the bungs.
