Wouldn't mind not bringing the extra crap if it can be avoided but don't want to be a fool and get caught unprepared.

Posted 2014...leaving 2016...so it seems you are certainly planning well ahead.
I have ridden from California to Ushuaia... and now north in SA for the last 28 months. I have a tent and light weight sleeping bag...but not the other camping stuff such as stove etc. takes too much space... I've only used them 4 times...once in Torres del Paine...beautiful. Hostal/hotel accommodation is cheap in SA depending on your budget.
I agree with some of the posts in taking a form of backup.
Depending on your route I can give you some good cheap hotels/hostals to stay at.
Mexico, Colombia,Chile,Costa Rica, Panama, are more expensive than the other countries but still reasonable. Argentina, has higher room standards than Chile and is cheaper.
Drop me PM and I'll be glad to email you my info.
BTW it is a great trip!
