That stinks.  I was concerned about this problem when I first got mine, but was also lucky enough not to have an issue.  Thankfully, the day after we brought it home we had a nasty thunderstorm, which I rode out in the driveway sitting in the R-Pod, checking for leaks.  

I've been extremely fortunate it seems, the only assembly problem I have found so far was that the table supports around the dinette weren't screwed in very well.  Fixed that with some deck screws.

Fortunately we left a plastic table downside up on the bed for the transport
 
all the water was in the table
No water has been in contact with the wood under the bed and the matress only receive the water when we took the table away (that's when we have see that water came in)
 
We took off the matress to let him dry .

Believe me, I understand.  The only problem I have had with my camper was a roof leak - like you - over the bed.  I took it back to the dealer and had them repair the roof AND replace the wood under the bed that had gotten wet.  I did not want a mildew problem.  The matress was not damaged, as I had not yet taken off the plastic shipping plastic "bag" - or I would have had them replace that too.  The factory had clearly missed sealer in a couple of spots.  All has been well since.
 
It is frustrating to spend thousands on something to enjoy and have problems!

I'm sorry to hear of that Cry.  Hopefully they will repair both issues quickly and correctly.
