Default suncamp awning

just had a weekend in the caravan, have a suncamp awning that ive used twice.
this weekend it was pretty cold, there seemed an awful lot of condensation in the awning, i touched the inside roof section and it basically rained, lol.

but i could still see water running off on the outside??

anyone had the same problem?

Normal in the cold, if you have a breathable/eco friendly groundsheet even worse get yourself a proper waterproof groundsheet and stick your fancy enviro-friendly one on top. And if you are on a hook-up put a little fan heater in there

Is it a nylon lightweight awning? if so do the above and cross your fingers, I have tried them all. The best I found was a Kampa Rally, but IMO they are all best avoided
