Moving from Class C to Class A
We own a 2014 29' Winnebago Aspect and are considering purchasing a DP. There is a 2010 42' Phaeton for sale in the area with 44k miles. We have zero experience with DP or if jumping to a Phaeton is...

We went from a 28 foot gasser to a 35 foot DP. Not much of a difference in handling, although I did hit a tree backing out of my driveway that I used to miss :)
If the 42's floorplan fits your mission then the extra length shouldn't matter except in the older RV parks with narrow roads and tight turns.
The biggest difference will be when it comes time for service. Some diesels take 32 quarts of oil and have several fuel and air filters to change. I usually figure on $700 for an oil change and chassis lube.
