Hello folks is there anybody out there who would know what this one is or have one the same?
I have been searching for over a year now to find info on it.
Tail-lights and paint are not stock.
Registration says 1969 SEWO, some people have suggested that sewo could be a clerical abreviation for Se Woods but I wrote to them and so far they have not confirmed that it is, so it would seem doubtful and I am back to square one.
Thanks for any info.

We have one that looks almost like it. Ours is a 1965 Sears that had been gutted when we purchased it. We were told by the people we purchased it from that it once had a tent like yours. There was even some of the tenting left in it and we made an awning out of it. The roof covering on ours was gone and someone made a wooden one for it. We used it for our camping stuff before we purchased our PU. The shape is the same and ours also has the door in the back like yours.  We don't have a book or anything else on it.
 
If you can imagine this...a 1969 Honda Accord Hatchback pulling the trailer. We had a neighbor who did welding and we had a hitch welded to the frame. Then my husband painted the trailer the same color as the car, gun metal grey. He and also found pin stripping that matched the car to put on the PU. Our neighbors though he was crazy because he wentched the trailer up by the tongue from the front yard tree and spray painted it. We drove it from Sacramento through Billings MT, to So. Dakota to do the tourist thing. You should have seen the looks we got from cops and other people. It really looked pretty cool. The only problem we had when we got back was that the car needed an alignment. What makes us mad is that we never took a picture of it when they were hooked up! Oh Well.
 
Hope this helps you figure out what you have.

Thanks Joan, great story  :)
Do you have any photos of the 1965 Sears?
Did it have the same shaped sides on the trailer box as mine?
I have photos of a 1966 and a 1969 Sears, they are different to mine, but they varied from year to year depending on which companies won the contract to supply the trailers to the Sears specifications.
Thanks for the reply,
