We haven't done any wind tunnel tests, but the camper tows down the road quite nicely and doesn't seem to be too affected by wind. The rounded corners present a much smaller wetted surface than a flat front.
We don't provide the trailer, but there are any number of utility trailer dealers around the country. I recommend a welded trailer with side rails. I currently run the tie down straps from one side of the camper, under the trailer, to the other side. That seems the simplest although I have installed eye bolts in the rails that I no longer use.
We use a 12V motorcycle battery mounted in a wall cabinet to power the lights. There is also a 120VAC hookup on the door frame with an outlet on the inside. A larger battery could be mounted on the tongue of the trailer and a cable routed beneath the trailer and enter through the door frame if desired.

Absolutely. Google "V-nose cargo trailer" and you'll find a ton of modern designs that claim double-digit fuel savings.
