why would it be on the front bumper? I took it off and the water still comes out in the sink, still pumps water...

That's really interesting. At some time I suspect it was a water transfer system of some sort. Follow the lines maybe it was to fill the camper or maybe wash down for equipment. Putting it under the front bumper may have been for convenience to run power from the battery. Let us know what you discover.
