What is the best way to let inside of walls dry out. I have a continuing must smell in a 12x60 SW (1968 model) previously there was quite a bit of leakage. I really want to avoid taking off the outside metal of home. Would taking off the interior panels work? Any suggestions would be great.

Hi,

Welcome to the site.

You can remove the interior panels. These may or may not be salvageable when you are done.

You need to get the air moving and remove all wet insulation.

Once opened up you can check for rotten sill plates, floor damage, and possible rotten studs.

Mark, has a great Repair Manual in the BOOK/PARTS link above, for DIY this is great to have in your toolbox!
