Hi ive noticed that the caravan i bought recently as started to get what looks like condensation in between the 2 window panes if that makes sense if you know what i mean between the platic outer bit and the window .I can see the 2 are sealed together around the edge could the seal have breached and water getting between the 2 causing condensation .All seals on windows ok and no water getting into inside of van .This wasnt there a couple of weeks ago it seems to have happened over last few days
thanks

yeah perfectly normal, considering that the temp in the last few days had dropped, don't worry it will clear (quicker) if you very carefully remove the little bungs in the corner of the window, use tweezers to get then out tho or you will end up pushing them inside forever!

caravan windows are not hermetically sealed like household upvc double glazing ....

another tip is not to use car polish o them as this effectively seals the surface and Acrylic windows ''breath'' and let out the moisture/condensation.
Use an acrylic / plastic cleaner/polish such as Autoglym...
