Condensation

I've been doing some roof repair on my Flagstaff, I have the rubber roof peeled back at end of trailer, replacing some plywood, when I go out in the morning there is condensation built up on metal framing where it meets the roof ( all exterior walls are metal framing) it's causing delamination of the plywood on the roof where plywood laps over wall framing,I'm assuming that it also has to be sweating in the walls, but I don't see any visible damage. Any ideas how to stop condensation of metal framing ? I live in Alabama,temperature is in the 80s during the day 60s at night, noir a great deal of temperature change.

Move to a place with less humidity. Like where I am in Arizona. LOL

This is normal for exposed wood that is warmer inside and under the roof than the top.
This only happens when you have it exposed to the air.
That is why it is so important to seal the roof during mid day temps so roof equalizes before sealing.
