I would do it just like an interior wall in your home. Dimple it in (gently) and fill the dent. Sand smooth with a sanding sponge. Dap spackle with the color indicator is very easy. You are not filling a large enough area that you need to worry about flexing.
What you've just described is the typical novice method of filling a hole in a wall. Hey, it's OK if it works for you but it isn't the best.
First, there's no need to dent anything. If the hole is below the surface of the wall, fill it. I rarely sand any filler. It is about knowing how to apply fillers and leave the surface as flat as possible. This is where a good flexible knife comes in and the knowledge of how to use it. That color aided stuff is acrylic and it will work for most places but the resin based filler is miles better.
I do this stuff for a living.
thanks for straightening me out. I guess I have been doing it all wrong for the last 50 years. :)
but she is talking about holes in the wall of an RV. why are we discussing spackle, etc.?
