I have some great roof rack options for a Little Guy Silver Shadow Teardrop Trailer. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack part # Y02-480B as it's a complete systems with adjustable tracks so you can accommodate a wide variety of loads, it has aero shaped crossbars which are both quite/wind resistance, and there are integrated channels inside the crossbars for use with channel mounted accessories. The tracks will actually conform to the shape of your roof so there should be no worries there.

In regards to drilling, this is going to be required for pretty much any roof rack system as there aren't any fixed points that you can use to secure a system. If this is a deal breaker then you'll have to find another way to secure the awning. I can however tell you that if you install the system properly you won't have any issues with drilling into the roof such as leaks, just be sure to use the proper sealant and stainless hardware to prevent galvanic corrosion.
