This document has been assembled for use with our Volgren TwinDeck coach which is constructed upon a Volvo B10M Mark I chassis. This operator's manual has been divided into four sections and this one contains the Table of Contents and introductory information. The operation, maintenance and specifications sections are contained in the other linked documents. This information maybe of interest to other B10M Mk I motorhome owners.
I did not have access to an English language version of the Operator's Manual. This is not a reproduction of the original English language Volvo B10M Mk I Operator's Manual. It is a synthesis of the following Volvo publications:
It does not include any official Volgren coachwork information.
