I'm wondering, from others experience, do you keep your window curtains open or drawn while running heaters in the slip over the winter?

I have a Dry Wave air dryer running by the galley sink, I have a Comfort Zone ceramic heater running under the dinette, and I have another small heater running in the bathroom.

The outside air temp easily gets into the teens or lower at night. Will having the curtains closed with all the heat inside the cabin be fine, or will these lead to condensation building up between the curtain and glass?

My thoughts for closing the curtains is thinking it'll help keep the heat in, thus reducing how much electricity being used to keep cabin warm and dry. But should I actually keep the windows clear instead?
 
With electric heat condensation shouldn't be an issue. Besides the curtains don't fit tightly enough to trap moisture.
