Ground Clearance for a 30-34 Class

I'm in the process of developing a parking area for a Class A RV (that I have yet to purchase) to the right of a downslope driveway. When finished it will be a straight drive across the sloped driveway onto a flat area. The right wheels will be on a straight level ground but the left will have to deal with a grade that I have to develop from the driveway onto the flat parking area. Does anyone know if there is a common ground clearance for a 30-34 ft Class? Does it vary for different manufacturers?

Thank you for any inputs!

It will vary. Our old F53 chassis gasser gave us nearly a foot. Our newish Freghtliner chassis diesel pusher gives us around 8 inches with the air bags full and five when deflated. We had to look at a few to find one with that much.

My experience is similar to Kahoona's. However, it's not clear to me that ground clearance will necessarily be an issue in what you describe. A hummock could cause a "high center" situation, but a simple slope will get accommodated by the suspension. Especially if a DP with air suspension, which will have automatic ride height control. I'm not claiming "no problem" - just cannot tell from that brief description of the terrain.
