Rollup door to dang short by 8"
Soooo disappointed. DW and I have decided to move out of the home we have lived in for almost 36 years. We found a house in a rural area on 1 acre of land. A BEAUTIFUL home only 8 years old with a 24'...

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.
You are correct in that the rollup wont work, no room to raise the roll when the door is up. The rest of the building is not insulated and I'm not sure if that is a problem or not in that area. It is an arid climate and gets pretty warm in the summer, some days over 100* but mostly high 80s to low 90s. All around the area where the siding and roof meet the frame at the ends in the high parts of the siding there is daylight, I think this is done to allow the building to breathe.
