I like the idea of making a claim and then seeing what the estimate will be. I can then see if it is worth it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Further investigation reveals that much of the water exited directly below the sink where a large hole was cut for wiring. Water flowed through with relative ease. I thought something like this happened since the carpet was actually drier at the front and back of the coach. Some of the dampness can be attributed to capillary action.
Getting the wires under the sink wet is not a problem, since after passing through the hole, they run under the floor inside a split casing conduit. They are pretty much exposed to the elements.
