With winter upon us the inside of the windscreen suffers condensation when parked up between trips. The rest of the motorhome is fine.

I'm contemplating buying an outside silver screen to alleviate the issue.

Would fellow members endorse that I'm doing the right thing?

Most certainly. Go for a proper Silverscreen or Taylormade can't decide if ours is the best or second best accessory purchase. The other is Duverlay mattress toppers. We also use it all tge time -winter and summer, storage too.

Is the condensation inside or out? If it's inside........you have an interior moisture issue that needs resolving. Silver screens are superb when you are living inside your MH, but we have never needed to put ours on in between trips. Having said that, it isn't laid up for long periods, and we keep it aired. Outside screen is like any other vehicle, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

We had a Knaus Sport, with a Ducato cab, and a Silver screen stopped the condensation.

We now have a Pilote, with a Ducato cab, and don't get condensation or need a screen.

Just saying .......

An external cover will solve the problem and also keep you a bit warmer inside. We use a Taylormade cover as they do a longer version that keeps water out of the bonnet vents.

Have never bought or used one. I suppose there is a choice sometimes between a wet windscreen or a wet cover. So we don't bother and don't find condensation too much of a problem.

I echo other's comments. You can't go wrong with an external screen from either Taylormade or Silverscreen.

Not necessarily an interior moisture problem other than folk insisting in breathing. If my X-Trail is unused for a few days the front screen will be condensced inside in coldesr weather. All other screens fine. Same from new.
