Moisture under floor

I had a leak from the roof. It came down the inside of the wall to, beneath the flooring. How do I dry it underneath the flooring and inside the wall? Paneling and flooring seemed glued down but there’s moisture behind and underneath. How do I get that dry?

We used a dehumidifier set to max which pulls water out of walls. Turning the air conditioner on is another way of pulling water out of the rig, but it takes longer.

Warning! Check out my pics on the above thread I just posted. I'm GUESSING the water came in at bottom of forward bulkhead. But it COULD have come down a wall, still investigating. Bottomline, make sure you don't have sopping insulation under floor like I did. Started noting a funny musty smell last fall.
