Outside TV Door Stuck or Other Problem With It?

Yet to use my outside TV since purchasing the coach in 7/15, I unlocked it
today but was unable to open the door. When our dealer gave us the tour, including displaying that TV for us, I don't recollect any problem he had
opening the door. I hesitate at this point trying to pry it open, considering
it may well just need a little prying. Anyone have such a problem at any
time? Would appreciate your thoughts. Larry

Rubber gasket may be stuck from sitting so long.
As long as it is unlocked you should be able to just pull the handle to open.

pull harder

Ours is always very hard to open. Pull on it harder. Also, remember that the door will go up, so pulling out and up hard should do it.

Yes the door seal does sort of stick if not opened regularly.

The spring lifts can put a lot of pressure the door because of how shallow it is. Make sure it's unlocked and pull the handle by both sides rather than just in the center to keep from breaking the handle.

I really appreciate all your encouraging responses. While I can't imagine how much harder I can pull on it, I will give it another try, maybe standing
on a stool so that the pull can be more upward. Thanks, again! Larry
