Maybe a cat litter tray full of common salt inside the awning or some of those moisture absorbing cristals to help remove some of the water out of the atmosphere?
sometimes when we just need our awning up to store my scooter in we dont bother putting the groundsheet down and this makes things worse for condensation, so perhaps trying to make it as tight upto the sides as possible would help with any rising damp/dew coming up from bare earth/grass ect.
Just spotted your in Derby, me too, which part are you from?

Do you have a gas heater running in the awning? The best way to stop condensation is ventilation, dont fill all the gaps let some air through.------------- Doing as little as possible for as much as possible...

salt will work, i agree with romany girl------------- its easy enough to be pleasant when the world rolls along like a song.but a man is worth while if he can smile when every thing goes f------ wrong.

leave a window open on the awning or unzip a vent if you have one.a large bowl of salt will help. ------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

We usually leave the top of the zip undone a little for ventilation.------------- **********

our tuscany seems to be more prone to condensation when on grass pitches, ok on hardstandings , a breathable ground sheet does help and leaving some ventilation open at night works,
