Default Windshield inside condensation

I have a 07 3500 CTD. Unfortunately, I have to park my rig outside since my garage is not long enough. The other day when I went to work, I noticed the inside of my windshield had condensation on it. I had to get a towel to dry it off so I could see. Have anyone else had this problem? If so, what did it take to fix it? My windows were closed at the time. I don't think this isnormal. Any help will be appreciate it. By the way,love my truck!!

crank on the defroster w/A/C on. . and give it some heat, it'll go away.

I have to deal with that here in the south in the moist cool mornings.

I worked in refrigeration for many years. If you get condensation on the inside of your cab, you've got a decent amount of water in there. Do you carry a cooler? drink 6 cups of coffee in there? Check for damp carpets and such. Just my two cents but it's coming from somewhere.

After mine went to the body shop last year it took a good six weeks for the condinsation to stop showing up in the mornings. I ran a de-humidifier over night and finally got it cleared up. It was all in my seats and carpet from just being in their shop for so long.

Now the only time I get it is if I forget a coffe cup or a soda or something

Check the window seals; even a small leak can let in moisture if it is damp outside.

coffee might just be the culprit!
