Unless your interior humidity is zero, there is still moisture in the air that will appear on the cold interior surfaces. This is the same reason why condensation forms on the outside of a glass of ice water.
When in your automobile and the windshield starts to fog up, what do you do? Most people turn on the defroster which blows warm air directly on the windshield, which is what you can do in your RV when you are driving.
When parked, you can do the same thing with a fan or with an electric heater aimed towards the windshield area. Unfortunately when you draw your privacy curtain, you prevent the circulation of air on the glass.
In this case the only alternative is to lower the humidity in your RV to an acceptable level. This can be done with electric resistance heaters or a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier is basically a small AC unit and removes water from the air the same as any other AC unit. Air passing over the cold coils release moisture that is collected in a tank. The dehumidifier also has the advantage of exhausting warm air which means it acts somewhat like a heater in Winter months.
