Add me to the list.
I initially tried internal ones, eight years ago, used them once and took ages and lots of mocrofibre cloths to mop up the condensation on the inside windscreen and doors, as well as the top of the dash.
Arrived home and immediately ordered an external screen from Silver Screens, this was delivered very quickly and used on our next outing....... What a difference..... No internal condensation, plus the comfort of extra insulation, keeping the cab area that much warmer. Also, in summer, they help to keep the inside cool.
As we tour all year round, I consider these screens a must have.....

At first we had some cheap e-bay external screens, they were ok but with those we still got some condensation on cold mornings. Now we have bought Taylor Made external screens we get no condensation at all. I've seen people with internal screens mopping up the wet every morning though, not an activity I envy to be honest.

If you are planning on camping say on the NW coast of Scotland or outer Islands you may very well encounter a breeze rather too brisk for external covers (!) and want to use internal ones.
Also the advice often given on the more rufty tufty forums than this CC forum is that if wildcamping, if "problems" should arise in the night you can up sticks & go without having to get out of the van to remove external covers.....

as said, external screens are very good....but they aren't cheap, are bulky and can be a pain when wet re storage.
its pretty straightforward to make your own internal screens from decent quality material on eBay etc....they're not quite as good but don't get wet when it's raining and you don't have to go outside in the rain to open up the view in the morning...
other ways round the issue....
some vans come with double glazed side/cab wondows which eliminate condensation there...
also, screen vacs work well these days....
or you could go somewhere warm where you get get the problem
