My first flood

[bubblerboy64]

Kieth, I'll tell you what I'd do. I'd get a wet dry vacuum (shop
vac) and suck as much of that water out of the carpeting as I could
possible get out and then do as you have done with a fan to get it
dry as you can as quickly as you can. I would not do more unless
there was reason to do so. This falls under --it happens and I
wouldn't get too worked up about it. It's not likely the first time
it happened in a 20 plus year old coach and it will happen again. I
think the real problem with water is when it stays in an area for
extended periods. A little leak can cause more problems then what
you had happen. I don't own a MH but I have had similar with trailers
and you dry'm out and go on with your business. JEH
