When I was there i didn't take a tent although I was travelling roughly along the coastal road where accommodation was presumably easier to find.
I was a vegetarian when i went but decided to put it on pause when I toured through Vietnam (Danang to Saigon) years ago. I found this approach good as it meant that it was easier to consume street food where vendors typically sell one thing which inevitably has some mystery meat in it.
I took my own bike out there and one of the challenges i found was how to transport my bike back. What I did in the end was sent the bike box (essentially cardboard box from bike store in London) poste restante to Saigon. Apparently it's not easy to track down such a box in Vietnam although this was over 10 years ago now so things may have changed
