Your water usage numbers are way out. Yes, crazy thinking since you ask. You cannot expect to live a mobile lifestyle like you are plumbed in. We have a 750 liter(200 gallons) water capacity when filled. I would think we are in the top 1% of water tankage. We almost never fill. If we fill we can...

The time limiting factor is compressor volume/speed. For the number of times we air down pumping each tire one after the other is not a big deal. I have enough trouble keeping one inflator hose from tying everything in the storage together without adding an auto inflator set of hoses.

An interesting set-up but should work. Bad grounds are a major source of electrical gremlins. As long as the rack is metal to metal bolted, which I suspect it is not due to paint, use the rack. Best practice send a larger common ground back to the best available chassis ground.

Try to nail down the basics first. Chassis requirements: Cab forward. You cannot afford to waste vehicle length/wheelbase on an engine forward design. Age, a newer North American available chassis, or 25 year old European. If you go with the older Euro chassis you can get a pre electronic...

What do you want to do with it? The size and weight is far too restrictive for anything beyond open desert type places. That turning circle is going to be a nightmare. The eight by eight will not get you anywhere on trails a four by four won't, I agree with Victorian that even six by six is...

Nice looking MB 1120,(but no front diff lock) looks like it was a fire truck and has been stripped and repainted. US$50,000 + 25% truck import tax + shipping and you still only have a bare frame.

WOW a professionally built half million dollar professionally built Mog or a $15000 MTVR with a home made plywood box... tough choice.

A good marine water pump (suction) is the simplest most dependable way to go.

You don't have to be big to have break down issues, GMC 2500HD stuck in Brazil https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/urgent-help-needed-2013-gmc-2500hd-broken-down-in-brazil.222192/

It is the same block as mine. All oil types and quantities posted above.

We are 3.6 m high, rarely an issue. 27 degrees is plenty.

If it had a box on it and was a motorhome would that change the duty to 2.5% as a passenger vehicle?

As for engine oil type we run Shell Rotella. Full synthetic gear oil. From 1993 MB917AF user manual.

What is the base vehicle?
