I agree that the specs can be off.... but your "hair over 12 feet" is actually 4 inches!
Our first garage door measured 11' 5". Our Class C was spec'd at 11' 6". Due to the fact that the driveway was slightly lower than the garage floor, by the time the rear wheels rose up on the concrete floor, the A/C unit was already past the door header. We squeaked through with about 1/4" to spare....... the first time we tried to park in the garage, I was standing on a stepladder next to the door (to get a better perspective on the actual clearance) and Hubby was creeping forward, listening for me to yell "STOP!".
Since we knew we were CLOSE to getting the MH in the barn, we bought it; and then were prepared to modify the door header if we had to.
