The idea is to string the pool noodles (or pipe insalators) on a rope and then have rows of them with some over the sides. Then the tarp is not in full contact with the treardrop and air should be able to circulate.

The air inside the trailer is more still than the outside air, so it can't hold as much moisture and the water vapour condenses on the inside surfaces - that's how mildew problems typically get started in boats, as opposed to actual water leaks. The warm coffee can keeps the air warm so the water vapour can't condense and pool inside.
For the volume you'd have in a little tear, even a 25W bulb would be lots. And of course, ventilation is king: don't let that air stop moving.
