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.
If you have enough money to live and to travel you do not have a right to moan about anything. When the USA quits its economic war on everyone with the strong dollar and cheap gas then things will settle out no worries. Buy your pesos and enjoy your life and quit complaining, or save your money and stay at home.
