for 2000 bucks I would look at an individual bike on its own merits, as in how buggered is it. Forget being picky about the model!!
eg I prefer a good kawasaki concours to a neglected harley...
IMHO anything large will do (you mention camping..)
Travel in the USA is so easy that any bike will do, specially if you think of their silly speed limits.
(PS interstate junctions are a good place to find cheap places to sleep)
