1978 5th wheel

Just acquired a 1978 jayco 30 foot 5th wheel thats been used for a summer home for a while. Would like to make it towable again.
1st I need a GVW for my states tittle, my GVW sticker is missing. Anyone have a compatible model that they could send me the info frrom one or a pic of one.
Next the trailer wiring from the juction box by the pin box has been cut or chewed where it disappears into the camper. If I peel back the aluminum on the front will the wires be there? Or Is there an access to the rear lights without disassembling the rear?
Ill save more questions for later.
I tried contacting Jayco but they cant seem to help as "its too old"

1978

I was asked for model and series.
The only info i can find on trailer is on a silver foil type label behind the door on the outside skin:
Label # B- 12180
Manufacturer Jayco Inc
Date of manufacture 7-78
Serial# S37852370

Was told its a 30 foot.
If thats so I found online it should be a
Jay Crane 3000.
Any idea how to measure to find correct length?
The king pin is under the overhang not sticking out the front like I see the new trailers.
Do I measure from kingpin to rear bumper?
From what i found online is
3000 is 30' and 5900 lbs.
3250 is 32'6" and 6150 lbs.
3500 is 35' and 6960 lbs.
It dosent say dry weight. Loaded weight. Or gross weight.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
