If it's in the corners, condensation *could* make sense since it has aluminum framing. The corner framing studs will likely be 1x2 in size and conduct the heat away much better than if they were were wood.
But, if there is no condensation whatsoever elsewhere inside such as door and window frames, then I would think it'd more likely to be leakage. New TTs are known to have inadequate and/or failed caulking sometimes... Also, sometimes, even though a TT manufacturer says they have good insulation, it's not installed very well in some areas and there's voids or even no insulation where there should be some. Have seen that on 3 TTs now while doing some mods.
If you used an IR gun, you could see where the cold spots are. Not a bad tool to carry along anyway for checking things like brake temp.
When it's cold and damp outside, it's good practice to crack open one or more vents to allow moisture to escape. Resist the temptation to seal it up as tight as possible to retain heat inside. It's actually good to keep vents cracked open a little all the time, esp. at night to get some fresh air inside. If the furnace can't keep things warm enough with vents cracked open when it gets really cold out, you could always use an electric heater (be careful of type) to supplement the furnace.
Time for a visit to the dealer.
