Nothing better than some motocamping. Looks like you have a good plan. Don't worry too much about water. You'll be stopping every couple hundred miles for gas (and every 50 for your rear end), and every gas station has potable water. Take a couple nalgenes, fill them at your last stop and you'll have plenty overnight for cooking, eating and washing pots if you go beyond MREs. Plus if you're camping at anything above backcountry sites, public or private, they all have water. 20+ bag is good. I get a little cold even in the summer in my 40, but I mostly go north. If you have a stove and pot and don't want to eat MREs get these things: http://www.knorr.com/product/category/245876/pasta-sides or their rice versions. Half of them taste half decent. You actually don't even need to heat them, throw them in a nalgene with water and they'll be edible in a few hours. But that's disgusting. Is that tailbag waterproof? If not get a cover or at least throw all your clothes and sleeping bag in a garbage bag before you put it in there. Nothing like wet clothes to ruin a trip. A small drybag and a bungee net is a good way to carry a sleeping bag, too. Whiskey. Don't forget whiskey. Where you going?

I got this a couple years ago: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001A...-tfL&ref=plSrch Solo size has served me well, plenty for one person and doable with two with a little coordination. The nonstick has scratched in a couple places but it's held up well overall, and the bottom flanges or whatever do boil water quick as. A gas canister fits perfectly inside along with a sponge and soap and some other stuff.

Never done proper stealth camping (tried once and chickened out) but with a AAA map you can find state/national parks/forests almost everywhere you go. I've camped illegally at canoe put-ins and trail heads. A few times just stopped at bars and asked if I could put a tent up out back, that flies about half the time. But green on the map is pretty reliable and usually doesn't cost more than a few bucks.
