Hello! I'll start with the usual TL;DR:
Yes, I guess it will be a long story. And like all stories, it starts with a why.

Why what? You may ask yourself. Why buy a van? Because I need transportation (I like climbing, skiing, paragliding, etc.) Why in Germany? Official reason: because it's cheaper (or so they say). Real reason: because I liked the idea of adventure. Buying it in a place where I don't speak the language very well, driving it to Spain... It all sounded very romantic to me. Why camperize it myself? Because I am unbearably capricious: I know exactly what I want and how I want it. And you know the saying: "If you want things done right, you have to do them yourself". Why write about it? First, to have good memories for myself. And second, because it is very difficult to find good quality information about camperizations without them trying to sell you something. Let's see if this way I can help someone.
But who am I kidding... The only answer to any "why" related to the van is: "because I do, because I feel like it and because it's cool". Period.
Although, well, there is one "why" that needs its own answer. Why "Drago"? Because every vehicle you're going to get attached to needs a name. "Yeah, but why specifically Drago?". Well, that's actually pretty silly. We've all said "fragoneta" instead of "furgoneta" at one time or another. You change the F to a D, and you've got a name that, if you think about it, is pretty cool. Or not, depends on your opinion, but I like it 😊.
What will this blog be? Here I plan to document (as much as possible and if I get the time) the whole process. How was the buying process, how I imported it in Spain, how much each step of the project has cost me, how I'm going to camperize it... These pages will be something dynamic that will be growing and changing as I complete new stages of the project. So expect to see changes every time you visit! As I will be making it up as I go along, some sections will be more elaborate than others.
What won’t this blog be? Don't expect ads, no shares, no clickbait, no "5 mistakes everyone makes" sensationalism. Just reading a title like that makes me gag, so I'm not going to do it. But don't expect something very elaborate either visually or structurally. I'm just going to put some information here. But if you find this info really really useful and you want to buy me a coffee here’s the link 😊
Ok, here you have everything:
