When the trailer is empty I get a significant improvement in MPG if I place the trailer sides flat, so yes, the aerodynamics are terrible.
Yes, not an aero engine at all  - it's a coffee table.

About 18 at best towing a 2300kg caravan sometimes drops to about 16 but always towing reasonably quickly.

Coming back from Glastonbury last Monday, I tried various speeds on the motorway and the highest mpg it got was 28.5 at 50mph using cruise control. Going up to 60, it dropped to around 23. Slowed down a few times and stopped on the services too. The last leg of the trip off the motorway involved driving round A roads
