hi i take it its just painted metal from your question.
you could cure this simply by glueing polystyrene celling tiles onto the inside of the roof although this is a crude way of doing it.

any sort of insulation material will combat this problem although the thicker the better.
someone else may be able to advise further and maybe recommend a more suitable material possibly kingspan available from builders merchants.

If it is the walls especially the outer or ceiling...

A small bit of Corded carpet from any carpet supplier (Off Cut)...

Cut it to fit nice and snug and buy from B&Q or carpet supplier an aerosol of "Stikatak" Super spray Adhesive.... It`s what the trade use to stick the edges of carpets down on wood/concrete/laminate when no underfelt is used...

Make sure the walls are as dry as a bone. and only use when well ventilated...

I used loads of it on the cabins of the last Fishing boat I built which was used on Fibreglass hull... Nowt more suseptical than a boat in water for attracting condensation.. and it worked a treat..:thumb:

I have lined mine with high density 2 inch foam. The condensation comes from the warmth of the van hitting cold metal
