Sweating

Since the temperatures have dropped our bus is sweating. We have carpet on the floor and curtains on the windows. We’re thinking once we insulate and put up walls and close off the windows this will stop? Any advice is appreciated.

It will reduce quite a lot.

"Sweating" happens when warmer, moister air enters a colder space. Insulate the bus and warm the interior, and it can't happen.

Condensation works both ways. If the air inside is warmer and carrying more moisture than the air outside, the moisture will condense on the cold surfaces.
