I cannot think of worse advice than for an RV'r to open a bank account in Mexico. Mexican distrust the banks for very good reasons. Some banks will not open accounts for anyone with just an FMM. In the small villages they do not accept plastic. We cannot pay our water bill or taxes with plastic. Most of the small restaurants here do not take plastic. Some will take CC's but charge a fee. How would an RV'r get the cash into a bank account. They do not take foreign checks. Cash is king! The banks are almost thieves! If you LIVE in MEXICO and get a Mexican salary then a bank account is a good idea.
