Grey & Black Tank Condensation
I opened up the belly of the 5er enclosed with that plastic/cardboard type of material to replace a cable operated valve. The insulation was soaked and water laying on the plastic enclosure material....

Condensation is caused by a difference in temperature with water vapor that has sufficient humidity to allow condensation.
Two things seem not to support condensation as the main problem: 1) The water in the tank was allowed to sit for enough time to reach ambient, hence, little temp difference 2)The under belly material and surrounding insulation would deter high humidity water vapor from reaching the tank.
The above is not to say condensation is not an issue. You may have the rig parked in a high humidity environment, I have no way of knowing. I would be checking for another source for the beads of water.
