Vacuum Repair
This is the best picture of the damage that I currently have. Large dent in the upper right. I was wondering, has anyone tried to use vacuum to remove a dent. I have a 36" galvanized wash tub. I was thinking of using some rubber 1/2" copper pipe insulation to go around the rim to form a rubber seal. Then using a holesaw to make a hole in the bottom. Attach the wet/dry vac and let pressure diffrential do the work. I'm assuming that the steel washtub is srtonger than the aluminum skin of the camper. Am i kiddiing my self or will this actually work?

I banged em out by hand. Unfortunately the creased metal is never perfect again.

Thanks Peeps!
Craftsmanship... maybe, but sheetmetal is not my forte!
I need more tools!
