Renting a place to stay instead of camping?
I read in many post that some people are now renting an apartement or condo or else instead of bringing their rig to Mexico. Is it because it cost less this way or is it just because it is easier? ...

I hear you. We are trying to cram as much US travel and RVing in as possible, before the hellacious Canadian travel health insurance rates catch us at 65+ !
We've been searching Mexico (fly down, rent condo) extensively over the past ~1.5 years. My fave. place is Campeche. Lots to do there (lots of theater, a huge university, archaeological expeditions, etc, etc, etc). I lived (and worked) in Campeche during the early '90s. Love the walled city.
Anyhow, all this talk of "renting a place" in Central, or Mexico brings back memories. I had the opportunity to rent a very beautiful hacienda (owned by a diplomat) in Honduras (inland, in the mountains), that was about 4500sq ft with 14-foot high+ ceilings, with o.5 hectares of cascading gardens down a terraced landscape and unobstructed view of distant mountains. The house came with live-in chef, house cleaner and gardener, several computers, unlimited internet, and if I wanted, a bodyguard trained by the Honduras Army (the bodyguard was extra). The price (per month) back in the day: $890 US a month (this included all the live-in help, but not personal bodyguard) LOL!
