Front screen misting up....?
always have your blower running with it blowing over the screen. it may take days or weeks to clear all the moisture from the interior but you need a constant flow of fresh air into the cabin that then flows out again at the rear to keep the relative humidity down inside.
even better, use air con
seeing people driving along with misted up windows is one of my pet hates as an a/c engineer, as i know that it's totally avoidable

Thats the trouble with this weather, the dampness in the air causes alot of misty screens
I usually find putting the air con on works instantly...(thats if u have it), if not then defo blowers on flat out should do the trick.

deffo agree with the rain x range ... use it on the van .. drive down the motorway with no wipers going ...
have used the anti fog stuff too worked well ..
just going to coat the screen in the cossie today in anticipation of rain on sunday

Rain X does my head in, when you do need the wipers they do fuck all and make it worse
As said above check for damp carpets, if you have water coming in this will cause the screen to be constantly misted up, been there got the T shirt, was a nightmare, sometimes had to stop after setting off because I couldnt see and it wouldnt clear

Mine dont get that bad, only normally steams up bad when i have 2 or 3 passengers, then i have the blower on through the whole journey, or if its not cold ill have the windows open
fuck using my air con to de-mist my windows, it saps my fuel on a long journey

air con uses fuel, but having windows open doesn't
Check your heater matrix isn't leaking too
Had this on my saph,only a slight leak too
Also check you haven't got water sitting in the bulkhead area where the heater fan draws the air from,there is some drainage channels/holes which do get blocked up with leaves etc

you'll probably find that driving round with your windows open creates more aerodynamic drag, and uses more fuel than driving with the air-con on.

at least with a/c, once it's cooled down the cabin and done the hard work it uses very little energy
having the windows down always creates drag, and is especially bad at motorway speed.

BUT failing that, what do you use to clean the screen? If you are using polish, or non automotive glass cleaning products, that would do it....
