punctured epidermis/water intrusion/UPDATE
The camper has been on since February and been on several trips. I noticed a slice or puncture in the driver's front of the cabover about 6 weeks ago and did nothing about it. It's about 2 inches long...

Sorry that this happened and the result. For someone like you to have your camper sidelined, just at the beginning of a big season, well, sucks.
I would reverse pressure your camper. Park it under your shed, seal up the windows, doors and other openings and get a high pressure exhaust fan that is used for drying out flooded homes and basements. Fire Departments always carry these with their units to evacuate homes of smoke and to begin the drying process. Place this fan in your door opening, sealed only enough to allow the fan to fit and run it for a few days. Pulling the dryer air of your mountains through the voids and leakage of your TC. Then open it up to inspect. Drying it out is so important. This is why I am so adamant about those that camp in winter for long periods, of condensation. It is very different than when someone camps in cold temperatures for just a weekend, or 3 days. You have moisture in your walls and it needs to dry out. Sadly, you are going to need to seal up the areas to prevent mold from taking hold, as well as the fungus that causes wood to deteriorate. Also known as dry rot.
