Only way I now to hasten drying is movement of air and heat.. A space heater or a fan. I recommend the fan.
Another source of leaks on many RV slide outs is the top wiper seal.. on my RV I found out the wiper was not wiping, nor was it contacting the top of the slide.
I finally got some foam tape and layed down 3 strips, this was like 1.5 or 2" wide, I layed two strips side by side and a 3rd strip on top of the one closest to the "inside" now as the slide extends the foam strips contact the wiper (the seal) and water is re-directed OUTSIDE the RV instead if inside.
