what motor do you have? the gmc (d/a is dmax/allison) in my sig gets 13.5mpg pulling the trailer in my sig......but then so did the trailblazer. i would curious about the shell, should improve aerodynamics, probably not enough to matter to the engine though.

should be a 6.0 or 8.1 gas, with the 6.0 i would expect around 10mpg....but i expected better mpg out of my diesel than i was getting with the trailblazer so what do i know?

I don't think the camper shell will affect your milage while you are towing the horse trailer. It might have a SMALL effect on milage on a long trip when you are not towing. Happy trails.
