Get a givi rack and top box. Pack light (just one pair of jeans, a few t-shirts etc) and take a credit/debit card to pay for hotels/fuel along the way.Don't bother with tents etc, enjoy the ride rather than waking up cold and having to put damp kit on.
I'd say a tent is essential when touring, you meet more people on a campsite than you would staying in digs, just try to find interesting locations so you don't end up packing your tent away every morning. If your kit gets damp you have the wrong tent.

Sorry but I really don't get the appeal of sleeping in a nylon sack under a tarp in the middle of a field. Not my cup of tea at all
