4x4dodger: Your assumptions are very wrong. RV tourism in Mexico is down by huge %. Tourism is up in Mexico but it is Mexican tourists, Canadian fly in tourists and Europeans. There are more Canadians visiting Maz. in a few days than all the RV tourists for a whole season. Where exactly did you hear of RV parks in Mexico with good infrastructure?. Very few have sufficient electricity if the park is full. Very few have 30 amp or 50 amp services. Heck , half of them don't even have grounded plugs. Water pressure can be so low that in some parks the residents use an exterior water pump to fill their tanks. Lots of parks that cannot take big rigs. I could go on. Very few park owners do any maintenance. Fausto was an exception to the rule. His park had a real maintenance guy who knew how to use an ohmmeter!

I think if you had read my post more carefully you would have seen that I said very clearly "the people I have corresponded with". These are people who are there now or have been in the past year.
Secondly I did not claim that RV entrys to Mexico were above the past high levels. What I did say was that all the stats for tourism overall are that tourism numbers are INCREASING and therefore SOME of that is surely RV'ers.
This is not to say that the business has fully recovered from it's low point only that it is increasing and getting better from that low point. And that the story is not all gloom and doom as some posters see it.
It would please me very much if the next time you want to answer one of my posts, and I welcome your responses, at least do me the honor of reading them thoroughly first.
