Damp is caused by warm air hitting cold surfaces, which you are going to get in the winter in a caravan. As you breathe, perspire, cook, etc, this creates moisture, which eventually condenses onto colder surfaces.
If you have EHU, a small oil filled radiator would heat up the cold surfaces (eg, the windows, and cold spots in corners) and so there would be less cold spots for damp/condensation to form on. Opening a window so that the warm air/steam etc can escape also makes sense, as you need a continual air circulation to achieve balance.
Another thing you could do would be to make some 'silver screens' for your windows. These are usually either outside or inside motorhomes, but you can make something similar from cheap car insulation screens or B&Q silver insulating material and a set of suckers from ebay.
b&q bubble foil
or something like this
And the last thing you will need is a super absorbent cloth and keep wiping all wet surfaces down, wring out and dry outside if possible.
something like this Or microfibre cloths from a cheapie shop will do the trick.
Hope this helps.
