expected normal voltage drop from load?
Is there a rule of thumb or guidance for an expected voltage drop based on amp load on a pair of 6V GC batteries? I was tinkering in my trailer this weekend and ran a 750 watt AC electric heater off ...

A pair of good 6s should do better than what was reported. It is true that 12s and AGMs do better for voltage sag under load than 6s do, but that is not the real issue here IMO.
Those poor batteries have been neglected for several months, and now they are going to be neglected some more, due to the situation. Perhaps it can't be helped, but IMO expect to be buying new batteries in the spring if you can't get them in and do some TLC on them (which might not work by now, but is worth a try for sure)
We hear about his all the time it seems. RVs going in the shop and coming out later with their batteries shot. It adds to the repair bill. I think I would try to take my batteries home and get them to use one of the shop's batteries while they have the rig, based on all the stories like this.
