In past years when we still traveled in cold climes I would cover the windows with heat shrinkable window film. It was available at the local hardware store. I would apply it to the inside window frame and that would leave about half an inch of dead air space, of course you can not open the window. It made the rig a lot warmer and helped a lot with the condensation problem. When you hit the film with a hairdryer it shrunk up tight and was nearly invisible. The film is cheap enough that one can just throw it away come spring. One box lasted several winters.
I wouldn't try putting it on a windshield. :)

+1 I haven't used the 3M Indoor Window Insulator Kit, but I have heard great things about it. This does a good job at creating a dead air space, especially once shrunk into place with a hair dryer. I've thought of tossing a silica gel packet or two in the air gap before sealing it down to further protect against humidity in that air space.
For the windshield, I'd consider an outside shade, then Reflectix on the inside for starters. There are some "B" owners who have far fancier windshield coverings on the inside than that.
