If the subfloor is plywood as opposed to OSB, you will have a better chance of not getting mold. Mold loves OSB when there's moisture.

Any cabinetry that came in contact with water may be damaged as it's typically made from hardboard (compressed sawdust) and will swell when wet. Some parts of cabinets are made from hardboard while doors are usually solid wood.
Hopefully there is no water trapped between the sheet flooring and subfloor. Sheet flooring just lays on the subfloor without glue. Not sure what could be done if there is water trapped under the sheet flooring.
Besides pulling down the underbelly material, insulation and Darco immediately, I would contact the insurance company asap. You might also try calling the local dealer.
You might get lucky, but unfortunately leaking water can cause serious irreparable damage as in this video:RV water damage
I hope it works out okay.
