Gaming in a RV?

Hello, I'm in the prep/saving stage of moving into an RV and had a question about internet connectivity while traveling.

One of the things I enjoy is playing MMOs and I'm not sure if that is possible while living full time in an RV. I hope to stay either in boon docking sites or in state and national parks so no park hookups the majority of the time.

Is it possible to have a good enough satellite setup to enable MMO play? Is there anyone at this site that currently does something similar? If so would it be possible to talk to you about what set up you use?

Thanks

    Verizon 4G via the Jet Pack is fast enough, but may cost you a fortune on data usage. On my plan I get 5GB/mo for $50 with each extra GB costing $10.

    Way too much latency in satellite connection, even campground free wifi gets overloaded and is slow.

    Cellular maybe but those gaming apps burn allot of data. Many of us use Verizon's JetPack for internet but it's limited data and $$$. Also CG WiFi systems are usually extremely slow due to poor connection,s and large back haul so they likely won't work either.
