Shrinking Canadian dollar
Wondering how the state of the Canadian dollar will effect other Canadians travel plans. It has made our site rental jump from $3,200 American to a payment of $4,022.60 Canadian. ouch!

I totally agree! It is nothing more than a ripoff and it has been going on for years. Most Mexican parks post their rates in US dollars but refuse to accept anything but pesos! One park I know of says it's to make it easier for NOB visitors to understand prices in their own currency. What a load of crap!!! Everything else I buy is priced in pesos and I manage to figure it out all by myself.

Its more expensive in Mexico as well, despite the fact the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar against the peso is largely unchanged. RV parks down there have acquired a nasty habit of pricing themselves in US dollars. Its illegal so when you go to pay, they go on line look at the exchange rate and convert to pesos, in other words you pay 20% more than last year. If a park in Canada tried that it would be out of business in a week. I am acquiring the habit of only using parks who price themselves in Pesos. They pay their bills in Pesos, they pay their employees in pesos, they should not be charging US.
