Default UPDATE - condensation problems while taking a shower with newly installed bathroom exhaust fans

I added insulation around the fan housing and it made the problem even
worse in the smaller bathroom

For now I am running the small space heater while taking a shower as I
don't experience any condensation then.

One thing I should have mentioned is that the fan is installed on a 8
degree slant ceiling instead of a flat ceiling.

Could this be the problem?

Also, since the bathroom is so tiny, perhaps I need a stronger
fan(more than 80 cfm), since the steam builds up very fast while
taking a shower.

I'm all out of ideas, as I've tried everything(read the previous post).

Be sure you have a good way for enough air to enter the bathroom to replace
what the fan blows out. If you don't the fan may not be effective.
