Camp gear
It's great to hear that your wife is going to join you! I always travel with full camping gear for both people when there are two of us on my bike - but it is very much personal choice. Compact but decent camp gear is essential for the way I travel and I camped in every country in South America, as well as staying in hostels. But I also meet people who never camp and who have a great time.
If you are sticking to decent roads (not always possible in Bolivia  ) and travel from town to town then you will be fine.
Remember with two up you will not be travelling as many miles each day, it's not much fun for those who are on the back for very long days (I usually share the riding with my pillion passenger).
Have fun and enjoy yourselves
