If several people slept in it overnight you will get some condensation if you didn't have any windows or vents open.

Thats exactly what happened to us first time out.Heater on previous evening and five of us snoring away overnight with all the windows and roof lights closed meant lots of condensation next morning. Slept next night with most of the windows on 'night vent' and roof light above the kitchen slightly open,problem solved. Just to add it was a cold March night when we were away.

Phew!
just got back from our trip and was amazed by the condensation on the windows and on the walls, but it is now parked up at home with all windows wide open and the under bed storage left exposed to try to get some air through it

Once the children have gone to sleep, I pull the curtain slightly at each end to let air flow around the bunks. I never have the curtain fully closed. I found this after our first trip.
