Business Founders
Henri & Emma Vandergheynst
Currently, Emma is the lot manager, RV detailer, and is often out running errands for the business sourcing parts, exchanging ownerships, and banking.
Sadly, Henri passed away in July 2018. His wife, Emma, and son, Jason, will continue his business legacy. We will cherish our memories with him. He taught us a lot of RV & business knowledge and will be forever grateful for our time together. For more about Henri’s story that began with selling RVs in 1969, click here.
A Bit About Jason
When I was born, my dad retired from RV sales to travel with our family and later open another business in 2003. I have many memories of RVing as a kid and visiting my parent’s favourite spots in Florida during the winter. If you talked to my dad, he probably would have told you about Sabastian Inlet while reminiscing of fishing there. We camped at Fort Wilderness Resort in Disney numerous times. In my teenage years, we spent much of the summer at Long Point provincial park where I made lasting friendships. Back in the day, I spent a lot of time biking around campgrounds, at a beach, or on the boat fishing and tubing.
In 2009 I started working for my parents with Airport Motor Homes with online advertising. In 2010, I went to business school to learn the skills to take over the business in 2016 for my dad to retire for his third time, even if that meant hanging out at the business every day. This is when I met Sabrina and we started our journey together.

A Bit About Sabrina
Summers in my childhood were exciting and full of recreational activities. Starting when I was six months old, on fair weather Sundays we would go boating on Grandpa’s boat in Bayfield, Port Stanley, or occasionally Grand Bend. My favourite part of boating was the thrill of going tubing. On Saturdays, long weekends, or sometimes for a week we would stay at Grandma’s trailer in her seasonal campground. I made many friends and participated in lots of campground activities. My parents would take also take my brothers and I tent camping to different places in Ontario and Michigan which included many KOAs. One of my most memorable places is Gravenhurst Ontario where I grew to appreciate scenic rock views and go “mountain biking.”
Jason and I met in business school at Fanshawe College. We worked well together and excelled in the Business Administration Marketing Program. After our first post-secondary graduation, in 2012, I began working for Jason’s family business, Airport Motor Homes and completed my OMVIC license. My positions at Airport Motor Homes have expanded throughout the years. Some of my duties and positions in the business include; salesperson, online coordinator, administration, RV walk through demonstrator, RV photographer, RV detailer, and bookkeeper.

As we are open 6 days a week throughout the year, Jason and I enjoy our downtime on long weekends to spend with family and friends. Long weekends in the summer we usually head to an Ontario park with an available RV or a tent to relax and disconnect. We like to immerse ourselves in new towns, go hiking or kayaking, and maybe even stop at a winery. Our current favourite camping foods are pizza pie irons and fresh hamburgers cooked over the fire.

Airport Motor Homes has become a large part of our lives as we have contributed to its changes and success over the years. Every September we look forward to the RV manufacturer show for dealers in Indiana. We learn about the latest trends and compare other manufacturers. We are willing to take on another product line that is on par with the Forest River Sunseeker’s features, quality, and value. We genuinely do care about our customers’ experience with the motorhome. As we are a small business, we take pride in recognizing our customers when they call. Join our RV family & we will take care of you.
