The Canadians have a right to moan about the cost of Mexico. With most RV parks I've been hearing about charging in US Dollars, Canadians take a loss on their money. At one point this winter it cost $1.42 CAD to buy an American dollar. With CAD hovering around 13 pesos, we see that as the "usual" exchange rate. But with the CAD low against the USD - and having to pay in Greenbacks - we are losing our parity with the usual value of the peso, immediately. The USD has been up to 18.5 pesos, and this is why you find it so cheap, although if paying for RV parks in USD, you do lose some of that advantage, but when paying in Pesos, you're better off than at any time in the last ten years.
