12.6 is resting voltage full charge. The chassis batteries being 12.6 means you likely do NOT have a bi-directional isolator.. You need to confirm this with RV body builder and if you do not add a Tric-L-Start to keep them topped off.
13.2 is a bit low for float voltage on teh house batteries They may still be charging..
How much fluid did the batteries take (Do not answer that) were the plates seriously exposed? If only the top say quarter inch (or less) you may be OK but if you can't even even see the fluid level when you pop the cap as the other party said .. Replace 'em
now if they are six volt GC batteries (Looks like they are from the specs you gave) there are two pair. Each pair is wired like this
Frame---(=6v+)-----(-6v+)--- 12 volt to RV
Think of those (each pair) as thou it were a SINGLE 12 volt battery, because properly connected that is exactly what they are.
