Other RVs, yes. Other large diesel pusher motorhomes, not many unless you want to go back more than a few years, buyers stopped buying low profile so manufacturers quit making them. What raised the height was demand for basement storage, which raised the floor way above the chassis rails. Then they started raising the chassis rails too.
Many C motorhomes with basements, and entry level A gassers without basements or slideouts (if you can still find such a thing new) will be around 11' 6" but even that is too close to call if you don't know height exactly. A gassers with slideouts and/or basement pass-through storage will be more like 12 foot high.
Cs without basement storage (just below-floor compartments) and without slideouts (or at least without flat-floor slideouts) will be 11' or lower, as the house floor sits right on top of the chassis rails. Lazydaze builds a premium C to be intentionally low profile, around 10' 6" with A/C.
Towables, fivers will be mostly too tall, the design concept intends to use maximum legal clearance height to create a multilevel living space. TTs, on the other hand, are usually under 11', many under 10' 6" and lightweight low profile models meant for smaller tow vehicles can be much lower, well under 10'; there are garageable TTs targeting an eight-foot door height.
