Door is frozen shut

I am just venting really. I think we will just stay home. We were supposed to head out camping for 10 days and expected it to be super cold with some light snow when we got there but man! The door is frozen shut. 😩 We store it outside under a cover. I don’t own a hair dryer and not sure what else to do to unthaw it. I am wondering if I hooked it up and drove it around would it break that ice? Any other easy suggestions?

    Perhaps some repeated but soft blows from the heel of your hand could crack the ice holding the door shut. I'd work around the edges first. This is kind of like the effect driving around may have. But don't hurt yourself doing it.

    It worked! I wrapped my hand in a tshirt and checked the lock after each blow. Thank you! Great idea.

    You might spray a little silicone spray around the seals to lessen chances of freezing condensation.  Hold a piece of cardstock as you go to shield what you don't want to spray.
