Door will not open when temp is freezing

[Pappageorgia]

Has anyone experienced this problem ? My coach is a 04 TS 38 foot ds04 and this only happens when it's real cold.

Thanks so much

Are you talking about the entry door?

My door works fine in temps as low as -10f.
However, sometimes mine will not open if the sun shines directly on it for a few hours in warm, (75f +), temps.
Apparently the expansion/contraction of the sidewall and/or door is causing both of our door problems, (unless ice is forming where your door meets the frame).

I wonder if there is dew draining or frost melting into the door sills and then freezing. Maybe an adjustment after you level the coach might force it to drain/melt in another direction... Just a thought

Yes, the entry door.

That could be. I don't see any moisture when I finally do get the door open.....as soon as the temp warms up a bit it works fine...strange.

Sounds like moisture inside the door is freezing the latch assy. Take the door panel off and spray some WD 40 on the latch assy. I had to take mine apart to adjust the latch when the handle would not open the door from the outside.
