I rode from Montreal to Ushuaia and back up hauling camping gear in my saddle bags.
I used the stuff 4-5 times. If I were to do it again I would absolutely skip the whole camping gear. There was always cheap accommodation everywhere I went on the whole trip.
After a day of riding I was enjoying a comfy bed and shower. Also the security of a room and the company of people.
Camping is a skill. I thought I could improvise myself as a camper, but I could'n't sleep well and just didn't enjoy it because of that.
So I'd say bring camping stuff only if you are an experienced camper and enjoy camping in wild places or because you want to save money.
