Since you don't currently have gear, I'm going to assume long-distance bicycle touring and camping isn't something you've done before. My biggest advice would be for you to do your research "on the road", buying gear incrementally and trying it out for short overnight or 2-3 day weekend trips. Credit-card tour for a single overnight the first trip to get your basic luggage and kit sorted, then start adding in the camping and taking longer tours

You can get great advice and recommendations on forums like this, but expecting everything to magically come together the first time when you depart on a 3-week tour is not a good strategy.
