Default Putting TrailManor away wet

I can crank the popup part way up in the garage and let it dry out. I'm wondering what to do with the TrailManor. If it has been put down wet do I need to open it up to dry it out? If we need to do this can I partially pop it up in the garage? There is the garage door opener and other items on the garage ceiling that prevent me from popping it up all the way.

Thanks!
What I've done when having to collapse the TM in the rain is to open it up sometime after I get home to prevent mold from growing between the collapsed shells. I never had that happen, however and there is air circulation around the closed shells from the bottom. I always keep my TM open at home anyways and collapse it when I tow it. I do collapse it and cover it up for the Winter, however. Just my routine which may not be what others do.
