We’ve got the insulated electric front blind too, but we still get condensation. Do the vents need to be switched on, or are they permanently open?Depends on your van they made a huge difference with a Hymer Tramp we had with the standard Fiat cab, but not bothered with them on our current van as it has an insulated front roller blind with heating outlets between the blind and screen.

I think Lenny is talking about the habitation heating vents most likely Alde not just cab heating.We’ve got the insulated electric front blind too, but we still get condensation. Do the vents need to be switched on, or are they permanently open?
Still not convinced! Will still leave them behind! Mind you, I do well remember those north easterlies of yours!Yes they do make quite a difference

Nope, I have Truma heating, Hymers from around 2012 have a row of vents along the top of the dash between the blind & screen fed from the Truma blow air.I think Lenny is talking about the habitation heating vents most likely Alde not just cab heating.

They are permanently on, if it's damp & wet it's OK until you put the blind up. As the heating on the dash is fairly gentle we then get a bit of conensation when you put the blind up if we have been roasting ourselves but not much compared to a van without those vents. Week before last we were away Mon - Fri only had condensation of one day, screen bone dry rest of the time.We’ve got the insulated electric front blind too, but we still get condensation.

........We have bought external lightweight ones which don't have the condensation issue,........

Yes.I have a set of "Silver Screens" made by that company and they are intended for external use, although they can be used internally, their prime function is for the exterior and they do work.
I can't comment on the cheaper or alternative screens, internal or external, that are commonly referred to as silver screens, as I've never used them.
I'm confused as to how your external lightweights seem to be working correctly, in that they prevent your condensation issue by raising the temperature of the glass, yet you're still not convinced that they work ?
Unless you're comparing internals to externals ?
Most people seem happy with their choice. So am I.Hope so, I’ve just ordered one!

When you responded to @Minxy Girl earlier saying you weren't convinced, I take it you missed the part where she said that the only ones that keep the condensation away, were the external ones ?Yes.
Erm, getting a bit lost with this thread, but I agree externals are best to negate condensation. But we tend to not get too much condensation with our home-made internals which are made to hang loose from the screen, whereas our commercial suckered on padded internals are not good.When you responded to @Minxy Girl earlier saying you weren't convinced, I take it you missed the part where she said that the only ones that keep the condensation away, were the external ones ?
Like yours that prevent condensation ?

Thanks for the reply. Just found Paragon Silver Screens in West a Yorkshire. Watched there fitting video on YouTube and looks perfect for what I am after. No prices on the website or way to order other than calling them so I'll be doing that tomorrow.
Anyone know what price to expect on a 15 plate Fiat Ducato?
