Someone correct me if I'm wrong but anything over 40' combined would require a non commercial class A license.

Class A goes by weight, B goes by length, but doesn't make mention of a towed trailer, just a housecar (motorhome) between 40 and 45 feet. I'd bet the OP will be in the weight range for a class A though.

A noncommercial driver license (DL) is issued in the following two (2) classes:

Noncommercial Class A, and
Noncommercial Class B.
A Noncommercial Class A DL is required if you tow:

A travel trailer weighing over 10,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) which is not used for hire.
A fifth-wheel travel trailer weighting over 15,000 lbs. GVWR which is not used for hire.
A livestock trailer that is not for hire, weight over 10,000 lbs. GVWR but not over 15,000 lbs. GVWR, and is operated within 150 miles of the farm by a farmer to transport livestock.
A Noncommercial Class B DL and endorsement is required if you operate:

A housecar over 40 feet but not over 45 feet.

Exemptions: Holders of a Commercial Class A or B DL, a Noncommercial Class A DL, and all DL classes with a firefighter endorsement.

I don't think that particular endorsement does any good if it is not a 5th wheel trailer. I'd check before I relied on the endorsement to cover me for what you want to do.

It's probably fine, but better safe than sitting on the side of the road with your rig, because of improper licensing.
