Well, everybody is right here. Yes, metal will attract condensation when the space around it is heated and the metal is cold. Yes, sealing the speaker openings will prevent humid air from getting into the ceiling cavities. Yes, moisture in the walls and ceiling cavities is a bad thing.
What the OP needs to determine is how much moisture is present and if it's a lot, how to keep it out. My guess is that over a New England Winter, all of the porous bits in a trailer tend to hold moisture. When heating the cabin for the first few times, the moisture is driven out of the porous bits and anything colder by a certain range of temps (like speaker magnets) will condense minute droplets of water.
My suggestion would be to open a vent or window, start the heater and see if everything gets drier. A humidistat and a dehumidifier could also be a couple of good things to have. Your AC is also a pretty good dehumidifier.
