I also always shut the water off out side anytime the camper is there and were not. Seen it happen a few times, and does not take long to flip that hydrant back on when you get back.
Hope it did not do any damage. Now even with the water off ours. I'm thinking did I shut off everything when I set it up in the campground today? We will not be back to it until tomorrow evening.

Sorry to hear of your accident......new trailer and all.
How wet was carpet/floor......the sub-flooring is like a sponge when it comes to water.
Swelling/flaking/falling apart/becoming loose......water can really damage a trailer sub-floor.
Hope it was just a little wet and easily dried out.
But if carpet was wet.....padding got wet....floor got wet.
9hrs. of running out the slide?????
Carpet/padding removed?
We had a water fitting break at water heater while sleeping......flooded living area and living room slide.
Had to rip out carpet/padding and dry sub-floor with heat/blowers.
Didn't get to slide out area soon enough......sub-floor swelled and came apart.
$6000 in repairs.......slide out had to be removed/turned on it's side and new floor installed plus new carpet/linoleum living rn/slide/kitchen,
Water leaks....suck!!!

Not a water faucet but had the hose from the washer/dryer combo come out of the drain. Man did that wet stuff up all in the closet and carpet in the bedroom. Lessoned learned don't run washer while fishing. Things could have been alot worse.

I realize if you are a long term stay you may not fill your tank, but if you do it's a handy water source accessible from inside the coach.
Every once in a while I forget to turn the hydrant back on when I get back.

If I am on sewer grey valve is open, the day I leave I will add a few gallons and travel to the next site and open valve. This keeps grey tank nice and clean and avoids your unfortunate accident.

Leaving the gray open is not a big deal because its just soapsuds and toothpaste. Leaving the galley tank open is a different story, you don't want dried food and grease to build up in there. Having the sink go to the black may not be that bad in the end.
