I am a business person and if you are dealing with the public you have to be aware that customers are easily lost. One bad meal and they all go elsewhere. One pushy electronics sales person and they complain. BUT if you are dealing with non Mexicans in Mexico then you must provide service. Mexicans rarely complain and customer service is a new phrase to many businesses.. The management originally started doing the right thing. They offered to pay for the damages. Then they back tracked. That is a horrible business practice. Perhaps after they lose business after LYING to the Rv'r things will change. There will be a loss of business that did not have to happen. As for American appliances in Mexico: That is an old wive's tale. Mabe ( GE) builds fridges in both the USA and Mexico. They use the same compressors and the same electronic boards. Major differences are fridge size and Spanish labels. Most of today's appliances are labeled for higher voltages. We have a Mexican fridge in the house that has been running 24/7,365 for 4 years. It is made and sold in Mexico and labeled for 115 volts. We have 2 freezers and 2 small fridges. All American. They vary from 6 to 14 years old. All still running. Our American TV is labeled for 110 to 120 volts. 3 years old and still running. The TV's sold in Mexican Costco's are labeled the same. When you get a REAL surge in Mexico it is not 135 volts. It can melt home surge protectors and fry TV's and appliances. Even Mexican units. We have transformers on our street that are adjustable. They are normally set to around 135 volts. If there are a lot of people here on the weekends it drops to less than 130. Our local lineman told me that 135 is normal! I just checked our voltage and it is 128. There are tons of Mexican tourists here this weekend. Tepetapan: I do not appreciate your snide remarks!
