my pullman has a wet pack layer.
plastic sheets that fold out from under the beds and under the couch to keep the wet canvas from touching them.
never thought about the roof liner to be honest

Hi,
We also have a wet pack layer, we have a trigano randger 575tc, which prevents the mattresses & soft furnishings from getting wet. Everything does dry out quickly when the camper is opened up. Admittedly most of our camping has been done in France , in the summer , but it drys out fast at home

Have had the issue you mention-travelling back from France a couple of times. Did mange to loosely put up the canvas for a short while on a motorway services.
Have also had to put it back up wet and camp in it. Nothing much you can do there except hope that it's dry at your next stop - had it happen and it did dry out quite quickly.

if you do not have the plastic layer you could buy a suitably sized tarpaulin to cover the lot then fold wet canvas onto it

If wet packing we unclip the roof liner and bed pods and cover everything with one of those cheap blue tarps, it keeps everything perfectly dry and separate from the canvas.
I have left it packed for two or three days before opening with no problem, even if it is raining you must still open it up for the canvas to get to the air. I certainly wouldn't leave it any longer though.....

If wet packups are a problem then a Dandy may be the answer. They can be packed away wet and left wet until next time you use it which may be many months later. Usually they are dry by the time you arrive home as it all drains out during the journey.
This video shows one being erected and folded. Note how the roof covers everything and solid walls protect everything which is vulnerable.

Look back on posts for old hands recommending Karchers.
I purchased one, used it a few times and coupled with dropping the bed pods and covering with the integral sheet across the beds never had a problem.
I'm sure somebody cleverer than me can put a link on here for a refresher.
