Weeping in enclosed trailer

Is there any way to stop the moisture from weeping from the ceiling of my heated enclosed trailer?

Its a 02 Charmac, the original owner took out the plywood sides and put up sheets of stainless steel and said he insulated it all the way around. I believe the insulation part, with my heater running on low, it kept it pretty warm thru a very cold week here. The trailer is not totally sealed though. I have to lay a blanket across the front and rear doors on the floor to close that air gap if I want to keep it real warm.

1. Do I have to remove all the SS, re insulate and put some nice plywood back up. I'm thinking the plywood might absorb, then dry, eliminating the weeping I have.
2. Should I remove SS, re insulate and re install SS?

Ideas??
 
I have the same trailer, What kind of heat do you have?
They do condinsate, if there is any moisture in the air when it is freezing
outside and the heat is on they will sweat.
 
Heating with propane always needs an exchange with outside air. Bring in a little through the vents and it should be good. Are you venting properlly??

Using a propane heater on a bottle arnt ya. I have the same problem and am going to a rv forced air heater. Should cure it. I have a pace that I insulated put the 1/2" plywood back up then the wallpapered veneer. Leaves moisture lines at each wall stud. Asked around and was told it was cause I was usiong up all the oxygen. I cracked the front and back doors turn the heater on high and no condensation.
