The motels/hotels are usually very cheap, around the 20-50 dollar mark, a lot higher and some cheaper as well.

How much!!! Have you won the lottery!!!???
Sprint ST -
I couldn't imagine doing this trip WITHOUT camping gear. I bush camped all through USA, Canada, Alaska, Baja and Copper Canyon and a few other places in Mexico. National parks in El Salvador, more bush camping in Costa Rica and a bit in Colombia and Ecuador.
Lot's of bush camping in Peru and Bolivia (where I currently am) and lots more to come in Chile & Argentina (where I did a lot of camping in 2009).
It's not just about the price either. Getting off the beaten track and camping in the wilderness (especially in the Andes) is a big part of MY trip. Its not for everyone, but you have already said you enjoy camping.
I too ride a DR650 (having swapped from a F650) and its off-road capabilities have increased my opportunities to bush camp.
Only you can decide whether you should or shouldn't carry camping gear. I merely want to point out that the opportunity to use it is huge - your call.
