What kind of RPM's do you get? What about MPG?
Just curious what others out there are getting as I look at TT options. I've heard that 2400RPM and 7.5MPG is pretty standard. Is it wrong?

Depends on far too many factors to get an answer.
Make of truck
Model of Truck
Year of the truck
Engine the truck has
Gear Ratio the truck has
Is it 2WD or 4WD
Size of the RV
Weight of the RV
Are you driving in mountains are flat land?
Is there a head wind, tail wind or cross wind?
I get about 12mpg towing, RPM varies depending on if I'm on the flats or going up a hill. I downshift manually with my Allison to keep from loosing speed too much speed on hills.
If people get all worked up and concerned about fuel economy when towing (which in my mind is an oxymoron) they probably shouldn't be RV'ing since they are concerned about the expense.
The truck in my signature is a tool meant for a specific job - towing / hauling my truck camper. It's not my daily driver.
