Given those conditions that were for your trip.
Correct ?

I will go there ½ year during European winter, if and when the situation allows. Probably more than one winter. It is a huge area.

Hello Erik_G!
Unfortunately, it's not correct.
Perhaps I wasn't very clear or my bad English don't help a lot
The costs were very similar at the end, yes, but that's because we chose to stay at hotels only when they were cheaper than campsites. For example in Paraguay we almost exclusively stayed at "hotels" (let's call the small rooms - they weren't really hotels) because campsites basically don't exist and the rooms cost less than 6 dollars per night! At the same time in Argentina, Chile & Brazil we almost exclusively stayed at campsites because we couldn't afford staying at rooms.
So it really depends on the region / country you're going to visit. We met people from Europe, who had bought local motorcycles in Paraguay and they'd been traveling around the country for months, with nothing more than a backpack and a raincoat!
Good luck with your plans!
