I'm not at all sure about that comment - In my experience the USA is much cheaper than Europe in almost every respect. Certainly most goods are cheaper in the US compared to UK prices. I know Sterling is high against the Dollar at the moment but even when it eventually returns to it's normal 1.6 US Dollars to the UK Pound the U.S still seems much cheaper.
In my opinion most goods are at least one third cheaper in the States and some goods such as clothes are as much as two thirds cheaper.
My advice is to take your camping gear with you rather than try and purchase it in Europe, I fear if you do then you shall be in for a dreadful shock!
It goes without saying don't attempt to camp in Europe until summertime well and truly arrives... (it's getting down to Minus 3 during the nights at Easter here in South Eastern England).
Stay safe and enjoy your holiday (vacation)...
