Okay, so camping is a lot lot cheaper than hotels or air b&b - which, as someone mentioned has gone through the roof. You have to take into consideration food - camping you cook for yourselves which saves a fortune and if you like a glass of wine in the evening ……. The price of wine in a restaurant
Long before the advent of adventure biking and survival, lightweight camping my wife and I would spend a month every summer 2 up travelling around Europe. Of course there was no internet to tell us what bike we needed or what gear to get so we went on camping holidays on a motorcycle.
We loaded the bike up to the gunnels with everything we needed and a few things we didn’t. We cruised around Europe from campsite to campsite. We would simply set up our camp then tour around the area on an unloaded bike.
When one is travelling for a decent amount of time one can take this approach so I suggest you think of doing the same.
We still pretty much do the same thing today, only on 2 bikes.
8 months is a fantastic amount of time - enough time for you to take too much kit, get rid of some, buy a bit more and have a good laugh at it all.
My wife and I have done 1, 9 month trip and the memories we have are of the trip itself - not the bikes or the gear.
Have a great trip
