Condensation vs leaking

This might be a newbie question, but I'm still a newbie, so bear with me...

I spent last (cold and rainy) weekend in the Poconos. Friday night was fine but Saturday night was 55 degrees and pretty torrential. Anyway, I had the awning side window opened for some air circulation and the heater on for warmth. About 1/2 way through the night droplets started to form inside on all 'canvas' surfaces, not just on the bunk ceilings, the sides as well.

I initially thought it was leaking but, considering the pup is new and the sides were showing moisture as well, figured this was a somewhat normal occurrence.

Is there anyway to prevent this from happening in the future or should I contact my pup dealer?

Thanks in advance for any input here

Air circulation is basically the only thing. If you have a vent fan that would help or get a set of bunk fans, that should help as well.

Condensation can be common with the right environment.  It is more common with vinyl bunk end than the sunbrella canvas the Somerset and Coleman used.

There are two option to help this, circulation and gizmos (bunk covers)
