OK, I'll take a stab at this.
Are the 10 of you friendly? :)
The 36B5 floorplan I just looked at on line has a King Bed in it. That should be good for 3 adults anyway, 4 if you're just going to sleep! LOL
So, 3 there, 1 in each bunk (total =5); 1 on dinette, 1 on sofa (not converted to bed, if it does) (total =7), 3 in sleeping bags on the floor IF you can put out the main slide. If you'll be overnighting at a rest stop or parking lot, you might not be able to put out the slide. IF it has the optional bunk over the front as currently shown on the FR website, you can put one, possibly 2 people up there. You'll probably be limited by weight there.
This is all assuming average size people. If you have a lot of 6+ footers, or 200+ pounders, then it'll be pretty tight.
A bigger concern of mine would be, are there seatbelts available for 10 people? If it was your rig, you could add them yourself. Depending upon the state laws, it may or may not be required for all passengers. BUT, personally, regardless of the laws, I think they are a good idea and should be used. Our rig has 12 belted positions, plus I added belts across the rear bed to keep the kids secure while sleeping (when they were younger) when we travelled at night/early morning. Ahhhh...the good old days when we could fit all four kids in a queen size bed. :)
You're only renting, so probably not a concern of yours, but on a 22,000 lbs. chassis and a bath & a half floorplan, I'm pretty sure with 10 adults in that sucker you'll be over the 22,000 lb. GVWR with full water and fuels. But it's just for 2 days, so I wouldn't worry about it.
Doable? Possibly. We had 9 sleep in our rig a few times, but that was 4 adults, 5 kids and a 90 lb. golden retriever. But we were all family...and it was just for one night at a time. :)
Oh, and you're going to need a "ticket system" for the bathroom in the morning! LOL Although if you're at a rest stop that has facilities, that makes it a LOT easier.
Good Luck,
