    Have you had the problem since fitting your solar panels on the roof? I'd have thought they might help a bit. My 'pod's roof is still bare metal, but I wont be sleeping inside it, plus have the rooftop tent fitted, so hopefully won't be too much of an issue. If it is I'll stick some 'coreflute' (I think that's what it's called, the stuff real estate 'for sale' signs are often made of) up inside the ceiling. Had a condensation problem on the rear window of our bus, next to the bed. A couple of election 'vote for me' signs covered in fabric sorted it.

    Nah. Solar panels lay flat on my double bed foam mattress whilst in transit then get left out in the elements until I pack up and leave.

    Short to medium plan it to get them on the roof. If I go further north, I don't anticipate too much condensation - but I had to ask you the question.

    Yeah your correct Cuppa It's called corflute. Polypropylene sheets with slots inside.

    They use them for those temporary roadwork ahead signs, etc...

    Ummm, despite other folks on other forums reporting being happy with these LEDs, I just read this about this supplier. http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/banggood.com This combined with the facts that I ordered some but have had no acknowledgement of my purchase (except for a Paypal receipt) and that I am also unable to access the account I had to establish, using the password they supplied, I would be wary of using them, at least until such time as I receive my order. just in case I have changed my Paypal password.

    Maybe use DealExtreme instead - they are trustworthy & cheap, I have used them many times.
