Where We Started

Family Owned & Commission Free

In 1969 Henry Vandergheynst decided to take a long holiday after years of work as an electrician, carpenter, plumber, home builder, mechanic, auto body man, car painter, and motor vehicle salesman.

Henry went shopping for a motor home to take in comfort on a highway tour of Canada, and found there were none to be had in Western Ontario. The only established motor home dealer at that time was located in Toronto.

So he visited Canada’s first RV manufacturer’s show in Toronto, found a unit he liked and made an offer. The manufacturer’s agent told him the unit was for sale to dealers only. “I became a dealer on the spot. I had to buy five Triple E motor homes to get the one I wanted. I figured I would sell the other four.”

And, the rest, as they say, is history.
