neutral  French Foodie: I really like your context with "eye-level". I always understood top-mount to simply mean the traditional fridge where the freezer is on top. I don't have room here, so I'll post what I found above/So could I! Asker will have to delve into it some more :)

  -> but what I understand from the text, the refrigerator is on top this is why I suggested top-mount refrigerator as opposed to top-mount refrigerator freeze.... of course I could be totally wrong!!

agree  Bourth (X): Yes. It appears to be an "eye-level fridge" (see www.trade-appliances.co.uk/_7400_Neff_K1514X4GB.html ), as opposed to an "eye-level fridge and freezer" (or "freezer and fridge", I suppose, depending on which one wears the trousers ...).

Ah yes, that all-important extra context about its being in a motorhome, and not in a kitchen, really makes all the difference!
