Touring on the cheap

With $$$s, it's pretty easy to equip for a tour with classy looking, long lasting, convenient gear. Many seem to go this route. But what about the more budget minded among us?

How about sharing your tips/experiences with low dollar gear that actually worked pretty well. Bike, camping, clothes, bags, racks, etc.

My favorite is the Eureka Spitfire tent. $80 for the solo, $125 for the double. Light and durable with good peak height. Also Sunlite panniers. 4 for $100.
