My DW and I went on our first October camping trip and first night out when it was cold enough to get condensation inside the TT. Question: What is the best way to prevent this? Not only the windo...

When people breathe in small spaces, they add to the humidity level. Propane heat always causes humidity problems. Keeping a vent slightly open helps. Ultimately being able to use electric heat and avoiding the propane furnace would be the best bet. Unfortunately, most campgrounds frown on electric heater usage even though they are probably charging you close to the same rate that they would in the Summer if you were running 2 - 15k AC units!
propane heat does not always cause humidity problems, only with unvented propane or NG heat do you get additional moisture added to the interior air. The typical TT furnace and HW heater vent ALL the combustion air outside, just like a S&B gas furnace. The heat exchanger transfers the heat from the flame to the interior air, this does NOT add any moisture to the air or cause humidity problems.
Use the electric heat if you want, but it isn't ANY difference with regards to humidity than a VENTED TT furnace.
Using the propane stove or oven does add additional moisture to the air since it is an unvented hydrocarbon heat source.
