This is my 3rd Baja. 1st one with a sink, bathroom/shower 2004 40' Oulaw in what was pristine condition. Maybe the water tank broke and flooded?

If you have deck hardware not sealed it doesn't take too much rain to fill it up. I don't know the construction material on those but if they have wood up there it's probably soaked. pull everything out and put some fans in there for a while blowing air around. Once it's dry lay a bag of charcoal in there with the side cut open to absorb the funky smells. Store that thing under a roof next time. :)
