Did you complain to the company? Sounds like the cover wasn't doing what it claimed to be doing, and as it was expensive why not ask for your money back?

  before i cover our van i take the top off the gas flue it just unscrews and seal the opening with duct tape i have also taken off the tv ariel and capped off the fitting  we dont take a tv so it would never be used . towsure covers are excellent value  we have used them for four winters this will be the fifth wouldnt consider storing the van outside over winter without a cover. never had a problem with condensation on the roof or walls it could happen though i suppose if there had been a cold spell and then a milder damp sort of day, the inside of the van would be cold and the warmer damp air could get in through the air vents and cause condensation on the cold ceiling and walls(not scientific just an idea)

Condensation results from warm, moist air coming into contact with a cold surface. The warmth could be from the sun warming the van, but I'd want to know where so much moisture was getting in that it was enough to run down the walls.

Jeff assures us his van had no damp problems, so was it down to a faulty cover? Was it operator error? Or was it because of where the van was stored?

The vast majority of people who use covers do not report condensation problems, so what was it about Jeff's van that made it happen?
