OK, drove the MH around and angled it on its gravel pad so there was a significant downhill and sideways pressure specific to the rear of the vehicle on the driver's side. It dripped water for several hours until I went to bed. This morning it seems to be done but I'll leave it there for a while anyway.

I checked up under the shower stall area where the picture Ron posted shows an opening for the plumbing. Unfortunately, there's a tank covering that area - the black water tank I think.

The only place I can easily get access to the inside of the flooring is through the hole made for the tube that drains water from the water tank. I'm going to keep checking this hole for moisture (I can feel some now) and may try to fugure out a way to use it for further drying.

Thanks again for all your help. You guys are the best.

If your rear bed flips up and has a storage area under it, make sure you remove all your stuff and leave the bed "Open" until all is dry. I would also spray with Lysol to prevent any mold.


See you on the road!

Thanks. Actually, under the bed is the outside storage compartment. I've had that open and all seems dry.

No real place to spray Lysol. The water went under the shower stall and water tank. Fortunately, we've had a few days in the high 70s so that should help.
