A friend of mine wants to hire a camper van, and stumbled upon this website:
http://www.kevskampers.com/

Anyone ever heard of them? Looking for reviews, but I can't find anything. Being naturally suspicious, I told him to beware, it looks like one of these rental agency things.

Yup saw those, it looks very fishy to me. Found the reviews on Trust Pilot which are almost exclusively posted by one time reviewers. That review is then acknowledged on the same day by Kevs Kampers!

Tell your friend to have a look at hire buddies. They hire out other peoples privately owned motorhomes. We have used them in the past and found them very helpful. There were hundreds available all over the country. We just typed in the layout we wanted to hire and up popped all the motorhomes fitting our requirements. As it happened the one we hired was only a mile and a half away from us. I would use them again.

Lots of hire companies are only managing the process on behalf of the actual owners of the van. There's nothing fishy about that on it's own.

I agree, but I do expect to be able to find some reviews that are from people that have reviewed more than one item. Also, I'd expect there to be reviews stretching back from the time the company was incorporated (2012) rather than starting from April this year.
There are a few more things that make me extremely wary of this company, but I think I have made my case. He is checking out Hire Buddies right now :D

I felt the same and did pass comment to Chris of Ikonic Kampers of Hull but he explained to me that "Kamper" is the German spelling and proceeded to sell me the best example of a 1987 Hymer 660S anywhere in the World!
QED. :)
