I brought a battery into the camper, hooked into the 12v directly and still see voltage drop to as low as ~9v at the end of a water pump cycle so I think that rules out wire gauge/distance since I eliminated that variable.
Last night I hooked the water pump up directly to my 12.6v 3s50p lithium test battery (old ebike battery re-purposed) and the water pump only dipped it to 12.38v full bore (as opposed to ~9v when connected to the internal camper 12v system) so now I know for certain my problem is a wiring issue. Going to hook up each 12v device one at a time and see what's what via process of elimination. Progress!
