It got wet, now what?
Last drive home was pretty windy, and I didn't notice but the aluminum siding up high in the trailer came unstapled a bit. One panel below popped out from the one above, creating a perfect funnel, and then, of course, it rained. This is the front, left side of the trailer, right above the bedroom window. I had some water intrusion on the bed and wall.
So, I have a couple of good ideas on fixing the siding. But, what, if anything, should be done to the wall? I have the windows open today (78 degrees out) and will be using a heater over the weekend to keep it hot enough to dry out. Before/during the siding repair I can remove the window and even the hatch below that to get a look at the inside of the wall and replace any wet insulation.
Aside from that is there anything I should be doing? Obviously not going to expose the entire sidewall unless/until it needs structural work, just looking to minimize damage/dry rot knowing that it got wet.
