A few weeks ago, I got a LOT of water in my cabin and my cabin carpet got completely saturated to the point where your feet would squish when you walked on it. I spent a lot of time shop-vac'ing it and got most of it out such that the carpet was just damp. I put a bunch of damp-rid bags near the floor and have left the cabin door open for air circulation, but weeks later, the carpet is still damp... I'm worried that if it says this way much longer, its going to start to smell and/or worse start growing mold.. any tips for getting it to dry ???

You need to put some heaters down there.

Dehumidifier and let it run

If you get a nice dry day, a fan pointed out of the cabin works well.
