Assuming the trim is aluminium then that's quite normal as it will be transferring the cold from the outside so when it meets the slightly warmer air inside condensation will form.

I get condensation everywhere at this time of year. . No way to avoid it if using heating.

Apart from stopping breathing but that has other ramifications!

We get condensation around the window shuts, heating on in colder weather in evenings, cooking, two of us plus dog breathing so it’s not surprising!

As Minxy says a cold aluminium trim is probably to blame. I wouldn’t worry about it, if it didn’t dry up naturally in the morning I would wipe it down. People create moisture, put them in a small warm box called a motorhome and in cold weather the moisture is likely to condense on any cold surface. I expect a little condensation in the winter, when away and at home (single glazed metal windows). It is really only a problem if the condensation is in the wrong places.

This is a perennial problem with the Le Voyageur. I place silica gel bags in the garage at the bottom and regenerate them as necessary. I am also suspicious of the door seals but cant find anything obvious and the rubber seal profile is unavailable

Thanks - I already looked there and could find nothing. Still looking but not sure if that is the issue anyway as the doors need a good slam against the air pressure

My garage doors have a small lip in which the rain collects so that when I kneel on the entrance to get something out I end up with soggy knees.

Me too, even worse if you sit down to open the electrical cabinet. At least it doesn’t come through the seal and make the garage wet.

Done that too.
