My van isn't plylined.

I don't have condensation on the floor which is carpeted, or the bare sides, but moisture always condenses on the metal ceiling in wet or freezing weather.

The only remedy is to stop breathing I guess. That'll sort it.

Vans are designed for people with imagination. Cars are so limiting ... what can you do with them?

Check to make sure there's no water ingress when it rains :idea:

Common cause is seal around pollen filter / blocked drainage holes & split door seals

I get exactly the same issue, condensation on the roof in the load area and when it's freezing cold it freezes and then drips down. Tempted to try and put some of the foiled bubble wrap stuff to the roof and see if that helps.
