You're leaving in 5 days? Sounds like you are winging a lot of this. I toured across the USA self supported in 2008. I spent a lot of time planning for it, gear and route wise.

My suggestion is to buy bike that can accommodate
- racks or trailer
- tires of at least 30mm

Sounds like you are in for a great, probably pricey adventure, being away from home for 2+ months (?). I wouldn't skimp too much on your mode of transportation. You don't need to spend $5k, but investing $1000 or more on something appropriate for the adventure will pay off.
