I think you have a terrific idea of RVing. We've met many, many single women who full-time. As noted above, check out the RVing Singles clubs. They are definitely not dating services. They are singles who just enjoy having fun.
The only obstacle I see is your 16 year old son. He's probably a junior in high school which can be a difficult age. Does he have stable long-time friends? If so, that would be very hard for him to leave.
One solution since you want to get out of your parent's house soon, is if you had a campground or even a kid-friendly mobile home park nearby (sometimes they let RVers stay,too), then talk to your son in-depth and explain your feelings to him and why you want to do this. If he agrees with living in an RV for two more years until he finishes school, then really try to stay in his present school district so he's not uprooted from his friends and things he's comfortable with. During school breaks perhaps both of you could take a small trip to let him understand what your future intentions will be like.
I really hope this works out for you. I know that when you're on your own you'll have a lot more confidence in yourself. There are many workamper jobs out there or even volunteering at national or state parks will at least pay for your campsite and give you a feeling that you're really helping out. It can be done. Good luck to you!
