Re: Condensation
From my very limited experience with the 'F' & 'TF' as well as the excellent advice given in the ultimatemg buyers guide, more than likely if you have got condensation then somewhere or other water is getting in, be it a leak from the roof or from the front scuttle.
Check out all the carpets and if found to be damp or god forbid wet, remove them and dry them out. If they are wet, then it might be worthwhile sitting inside checking all areas whilst someone else slowly and methodically dowses the outside with a hose pipe.
Good luck.

All soft tops are inherently damper inside than tin tops.

I bought a couple of the dehumidifier bags from Aldi and they help

Re: Condensation
Pull the carpets back and check to see if the foam under the carpet is wet, I suspect that is the cause of excessive condensation
