Air mover in each caravan when finished, then move on to the next caravan. Helps if you have 2 or 3 air movers but one will do the job.

John Kelly sells 2 kinds of small effective driers the drip old and the velo ideal for what you need.

Perhaps he asking for them to be dry because in the past he has had a bad experience with either himself or another carpet cleaner doing the carpets and leaving them wet for days.

Tell him normally you can achieve a good quality deep clean and have them dry in 4 hrs, if he wants the dry quicker you can do that..... but the quality will slightly drop.

Who knows he might be happy with a 4 hr dry time

A rotary no but the Oreck or Floormac would come into its own here.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

My thoughts too Stuart....used to have a 30 foot static on site in York and used to get the odd one to do for other people onsite.
The second bedrooms were the awkwardest.
Did more u/h than carpets though.
