Note that the Ford Escape is rated at only 30 sq. ft. of frontal area, assuming you have the V6 (it's only 24 sq. ft. otherwise). That's only about 7' across by 4' tall, or in other words, a pop-up. Most travel trailers are at least double that.
Therein lies the key! Most of the setups you see done by towing specialists that have vehicles towing over their weight capacity are pulling Airstreams or other aerodynamic trailers. Vehicles that tow a 5000 lb boat or other low profile trailer fine may fall on their faces when faced with a 3500 high profile travel trailer.
