For every person that wants a window cover over the back window, I hear "I love the fact I can see all the way through the trailer while under tow." Different strokes for different folks.

Can not say that as most Escapes have a front window cover used when towing. Perhaps some Scamps or other FGRV can lay that claim.

We tow with a cargo van, so can't see through it either

Even the other brands usually have a front window cover, but some owners don't use them; the cover could be removed from an Escape. Also, some brands/models (such as the Boler 1300 and the Scamps copied from them) have a plastic (acrylic, but one could use polycarbonate) front window that is probably less vulnerable to rock damage than glass.

Personally, I can't imagine enough benefit of limited tunnel vision through the trailer to skip the front window protection (which we have on our current Boler and would have on the Escape replacement), and so a rear cover wouldn't change visibility for me.

Taken out our back window on June 14 at St. Mary Campground in Glacier NP, on our way home after the Osoyoos rally.

Taken out our back window five minutes ago, of my favorite place in the whole world - our back yard.
