While we are on this topic those of you with vans built the end of 2012 to beginning of 2014 have an industry
I have made this a separate topic as I believe its important people see this
known fault on their windows, I found this out after my dealer kept trying to dodge replacing my Elddis windows claiming it was just damp and normal.
I had an independent survey of the van done by an NCC recommended agent who confirmed this as a known fault
What happens is you get a mirror image on the double glazing panes that looks like condensation patches but isn't, it is caused when air pressure during towing pushes the two panes together the resulting friction between the two panes causes the mirror images
No not scratching the friction causes the panes to appear as if there are small patches of condensation on the windows like fogging and as others have posted it is not just one make of caravan affected

Scratching the windows internally as the 2 layers contact each other?
We had our centre one replaced by Bailey under warranty in 2009/10 (Polyplastic from Holland were the OEM) and it has been fine ever since then.
The outer pane of the replacement is bowed out instead of parallel to the inner, this design change & distance from the inner means it's not likely to happen again.
