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.

my mate has got a t4 and did his he says it totally stopped and the carpet doesnt get wet or hold water. i have a 1980 vw t25 1600 ct Aircooled devon camper and am doing a full restoration on it. am keeping it origana so dont know wether it would look ok on a older camper.

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

proper car wax, like Autoglymm, Race glaze etc... not silicone polish
