According to Winnebago, 10'11" give or take several inches for accessories and change in ride height with load.
The height of their Outlook line of C's is nominally 11'5"
The ERA B on the tall-body Sprinter van is 9'7" with RV accessories on top. Most Sprinter B's will be in this range, unless someone adds a cap on top (like the Westfalia).

Through the early '80s, Winnebago's Brave and Chieftain A's were about 10 foot tall, within a fraction of an inch.
Then came basements.

My 2000 coachman 30qb is 10' to the top of the sidewall, then you have to add the a/c. It has a sub-basement.

My '92 Aero Cruiser is exactly 9 feet tall with the new Carrier Low V A/C unit. 23'3" long, sleeps three adults; full bathroom (NOT a wet bath!). I know of a PRIMO unit available F/S now at $15K FIRM; it's the only one I've seen near as nice as mine...

Browsing eBay the other day, I came across a 1993 Barth Breakaway (eBay i/d # 140267246562). Looks like an interesting rig. I'm looking (sporadically, because funds are a bit tight) for something around 30' and not a "cookie-cutter" front engine gasser. We had a 26' Class C that belongs in the "least said, soonest mended" category.
I'm intrigued by this one. I've heard good things about Barth regarding build quality and overall good engineering. I'm leery of a 93 with an asking price close to $30K. Although I'm a reasonable shade-tree mechanic (actually a retired mechanical engineer with 30 years at Boeing and time in the UK motorcycle and machine tools industries), I'm not sure I could handle this particular rig. It's in Florida, which complicates things, since that's about as far away from my part of North-Western Washington as you can go without getting your feet wet.
Any comments, pro or con?

1999 Allegro 28' Motor Home with 4,433 miles
Frank the Barth is very nice. The one above is nothing fancy but should be like new but may need new rubber items and other things having set much of ten years. $20K could buy one a lot of MH.
At 74K miles the Barth is not worn out but could need some diesel service and may be less powerful than the 454. I followed a short diesel towing a mini van and clearly the front end was light the way the guy was weaving from side to side.
Just an 180 degree thought. Once the Chevy issues from setting were addressed you would have a good MH for another 10-15 years.
