I also think a rear window is important; not so much for driving because camera and mirrors can get the job done, but more for general visibility when camping or just parked somewhere. Often back-in sites have nice views to the rear that can’t be enjoyed as much without a rear window.

I’m not sure why manufacturers started to eliminate rear windows that were common up to about 10 years ago. They then started leaving rear windows off on many motorhomes that had them previously.

It’s a feature I like on Axis 24.1, and one missing on newer motorhomes like the Winnebago EKKO. By contrast, manufacturers have been designing some Class B van campers with rear screen curtains to allow leaving rear doors completely open, suggesting they know that a view to the back is important. Granted, in a van it makes limited space feel larger also.
