when i go camping me and my girlfriend always sleep in the back of my truck on the really cold nights. moisture always builds up on the windows. what do you guys to to help prevent this. it gets old when you roll over and are up a 15 degree wet window.

short of not breathing theres not much you can do. single pane windows and cold temps are always going to get fogged up. besides its fun sleeping w/ your sweetheart and having steamed up windows:sombrero: i crack mine open and it still gets plenty fogged up unless i leave the back open and its warm out. good luck

This site kind of explains it.

Condensation on your glass (or your glasses)
You probably see condensation right at home every day. If you wear glasses and go from a cold, air-conditioned room to outside on a humid day, the lenses fog up as small water droplets coat the surface via condensation. People buy coasters to keep condensed water from dripping off their chilled drink glass onto their coffee tables. Condensation is responsible for the water covering the inside of a window on a cold day (unless you are lucky enough to have double-paned windows that keep the inside pane relatively warm) and for the moisture on the inside of car windows, especially after people have been exhaling moist air. All of these are examples of water leaving the vapor present in the warm air and condensing into liquid as it is cools.

Looks like double pane windows are about your only solution. But that's hard to come by in a vehicle.
