    a vent might help or you could try and insulate the roof althogh the vent would be cheaper other option would be to cut a vent in the bulk head and crack the window open a touch
    other than you could try a dehumidifer

    just had a good look in the back and there no vent showing in the back near the back doors and wheel arch the ply line is over it do you think that this may be the cores ?

    looked at roof vent on ebay looks likes there £50 ish

    I have a roof vent in my van (vivaro) It hardly makes a difference to the build up of moisture, my roof is often wet. Just got to look after the ply. I painted mine with garage floor paint and it really protects it.

    Sadly there could be a few reasons, did you buy it new or used? If used was the ply line in there when you bought it? Unfortunately ply line can hide a multitude of previous owner bodges
    Also I've seen quite a few where the silicone seal where the roof panel meets the rear door surround panel.

    Sadly panel vans are prone to condensation

    We have previously removed old plylining only to find holes in the floor for previous equipment :o(
