When I first started window cleaning I put hot water in my bucket; but it steamed everything up in the car.  I just stuck to cold after that.

Get yourself a damp cloth, rub some neat fairy liquid on it. Then rub it all over the inside of your windows, it will look a little soapy at first but it will dry clear. Then you will get no condensation. For those who think i'm kidding it also works on your mirrors and bathroom mirrors cabinets etc.....and you can try it first hand there with some damp cloth or tissue. Only down side is that you do need to clean it all off and re apply it every other day or two  but it does work perfectly.

its hardly a major problem is it?if you carry water whether its 350 or 5 litres you ll get some condensation.i find my oil filled radiator stops most of it as ive not got a bulkhead.

on weekends when i dont heat the van overnight its the old ice scraper jobbie.just dont scrape with heaters blowing as you end up with water all over the dashboard and face!!

peel back about 6 inches of the rubber draught strip at the top of one of your doors will stop any condensation

i always use hot in my bucket in the morning winter/summer and dont remember this being a problem,bucket is behind back doors,my new combo has a metal plate separating cab from the rear so its sound on cold days now takes seconds heat up

Start with cold water for your journey to your first job then pee in the bucket to warm it.

Get a bucket with a lid.
