Any current fivers less than 12' tall?
Is there a 30 foot fiver made today that is under 12 feet tall? Other than the micro fivers, such as the Scamp or whichever egg brand makes one (not 30' anyway, I know).

- Jayco Eagle HT 28.5 witch is 31' comes in at 12' even. I believe the other HT models are the same. As for head room in the bedroom just over 6' I am 5'11" and I can walk all over in the bedroom without feeling like I am going to hit my head.
- Keystone Springdale makes some 5ers under 12'. And the Keystone Cougar comes in at just a few inches over 12'. Probably some other brands also have similar models.
- Yes, I am guessing that due to the height of the truck bed rails, it's a lost cause.

Check with the manufacturers for current info. - Perhaps there might be, but if so, the headroom in the front (usually the bedroom) is going to be extremely limited. If you want 2 A/Cs, consider that the 12' limiting measurement is going to be to the top of the front A/C, not to the roof of the 5th wheel. The bedrails on many trucks are 56" to 58" high, and the bottom of the 5th wheel overhang needs to be 6" to 8" above that, so that's 5'2" to 5'6" to the bottom of the overhang. Then add the distance from the bottom skin of the overhang, through the frame and up to the top surface of the floor, and subtract the thickness of the ceiling, ceiling joists and roof and you're going to be really challenged to get 6' of headroom - probably substantially less.
