It would probably reduce condensation by acting as a slight barrier to moisture getting directly at the cold metalwork.
There will always be some condensation, but its less noticeable with carpet to soak it up.

Haven't done mine yet, but I will probably be carpeting mine too.

lots of kampers kept the metal showing , some were covered - so lots of opinions- more personal choice.

dosent seem to make much difference , a very good wax coating seems to work best in the end
