Our metal roof sweats inside the room, we have not replaced the ceiling yet. What could cause this?

We live in a mobile home with a metal room attached that has a metal roof, the ceiling started leaking, so my husband took down the old ceiling and put a new metal roof on the room. He left the old metal on the roof , put insulation on top and then put new metal roofing on top of the insulation. Now the inside of the room sweats {we have not put in a new ceiling yet} it drips almost constantly. expecially when it is cold and the warm sun hits the roof. We need to put up a ceiling, but we cant't because the ceiling tile will just get wet and ruin. What can we do to stop the roof {ceiling} from sweating and getting everything in the room wet? Can anyone help us with this problem?

  1. There is not enough insulation.
  2. The insulation needs to be inside the old roof, not between them.
  3. You need a vapor barrier
  4. The moisture from the home is attracted to the metal. cooking , showering ect. causes the moisture and can not escape.You should insulate above the new ceiling also because the metal will still attract some moisture with the ceiling installed and the insulation will hold it from damaging the new ceiling..
