Its time to start complaining

The use of US or Canadian dollars has become very difficult in Mexico. In an attempt to control money laundering by the criminal set, all tolls must be paid for in Mexican currency. Many/most banks will no longer exchange currency for you unless you have an account there and then there is a monthly limit. Most (except for border areas) businesses, taxis, etc, take only pesos. Change houses are few and far between, IF there are any at all in the location you are in.
Times have changed.

outside of Rocky Point you would be hard pressed to find any RV park in Mexico that is not at least 2/3 Canadians.

....nobody in Mexico cares how many Canadian tourists visit Mexico by RV (about 1.5 million Canadians vacation in Mexico annually; how many are RVers? 10,000 ? 5000 ?). They only care how many Americans visit Mexico: a meager 150,000 A DAY !

...here's one for you: ...

"Mexico Inflation Rate Keeps Rising
Mexican annual inflation rate accelerated further to 4.3 percent in October of 2014 from 4.22 percent in September, pushed up by higher food prices. Monthly inflation accelerated to 0.55 percent, the highest in nine months. Published on 2014-11-07" (site: Trading Economics, 2014)

....whenever a country's inflation rates soar / their currency dives, the only hedge for the population is to use US dollars (regardless of it's legal implications in any given country)....so, what is the World's currency benchmark (against which all other currencies are measured) ? If you recall the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944, thereafter, every country on Earth pegged their currency exchange rates exclusively to the US dollar. Worse in Mexico, Mexico is the US's largest trading partner...so, which currency does the Mexican economy prefer??? Certainly not the ever increasingly worthless Mexican Peso. Try and exchange Mexican currency in Canada, Argentina, Colombia, the Bahamas, the UK, France, Switzerland, Germany, etc, etc...and see what happens!

In literally every Latin American country I have ever been in, I could use US dollars to either out-right buy goods and services, or to exchange for the local currency (I only exchange just enough; never too much!).

You are free to ask for a price in pesos but realistically, you have a buisness that is primarily geared towards Americans (secondarily to Canadians), so they price in the American currency.

Look up the prices for the all inclusive resorts and they do the same thing. They advertise prices in the local currency.

For most it's nice because it takes away variability. While currently it favors the park owner, if the dollar falls, the owners will typically honor thier rates. In either case given enough time everything will adjust.
