Condensation on interior of windows

We're first year winter fulltimers in Idaho. We put light blocking material up on the bedroom windows to make it a bit darker and also keep down some noise. Wouldn't you know it...I have enough mold behind that material to make penicillin? I have pulled all the material off, bleached everything, and am debating my options. Our fiver is a 1998, so I'm sure the windows aren't the best. That being said, I need to figure something else out.

Any ideas would be appreciated. The fiver came with no curtains. Just metal blinds. Replacing the blinds is cost prohibitive at this time.

Thanks!

    That's a common problem when coldweather camping. Not a lot you can do; run a dehumidifier, maybe something like Damprid, but that probably won't keep up. Could crack a window or vent, but I'm guessing that's not a good option. Wipe the windows each morning to try to eliminate most of the moisture. Goodluck!

    Just hang a towel over the blinds to darken the room. If you have paper binders, or some of those spring loaded clips to keep potato chip bags closed, you can use those to clip the towel on the blind to block out light. This will let air flow, keep your windows a bit dryer, and give you more dark in the room.
