The frame can definitely twist. It evidently racked and bound up the door frame against the door. Next time, try moving the jacks up or down, one at a time, until it frees up. If you're level, it obviously shouldn't do it, but all those uneven twists in the road might be what caused this. Oh yes, and temperature changes from night to day can make a difference in how easy the door is to open.
I used a dremel grinder to make sure my deadbolt was in the middle of the slot that received it (top to bottom clearance). Then, whenever I noticed a slight 'pull' on the trailer that I have set up all the time, I adjusted the jacks until it was easy again. My motorhome hasn't had that problem yet, but I dread having the lock itself fail, if that's what you've experienced.
