I am sure the 12' door covered anything/everything he ever anticipated using it for. I have a 30'x40' building with 10' doors at each end that I built well before I ever considered buying an RV of any kind. And still have no plans to put one there. Handles my tractor, implements, and utility trailer fine.
As far as modifications, it will depend entirely on the internal wall framing and the overhead clearance between the top of the door framing and the roof framing. From the pictures I am guessing there is not room to raise the door opening a foot and have room for a roll door above it.
If possible I would go with a garage type panel door any way. The roll doors can't be insulated and, if like mine, do not seal well at all around the sides and bottom letting wind blow dirt/dust/leaves in. The rest of my building is fully insulated but door radiates heat internally when the sun shines on it. That was my oversight.
