Fulltiming as a family of 3

Eldest children are out of the nest this Summer to college and we are down to just our 10 year old and two mini dachshunds.

We are toying with the idea of road-schooling him next year. (we'd need to sell some property first to do this, but we have an ample savings, so working and $ is not an issue).

He seems to be excited at the thought of it, but I worry about no social interactions with friends his own age on a regular basis and whether he understands what life on the road will be like. I feel it would be different with a sibling to keep him company. Anyone else traveled with a single child? Is this cruel to him? He loves to explore and learn, especially loves nature. He's very close to us and is well behaved.
