There is Sacramento "International" and Sacramento "Executive" airports. I'm not sure which one you are referring to by "metro." My guess is international which is on I-5 between Sac and Woodland. I would not want to negotiate an A in and out of the cell parking lot. Buses deliver passengers to the terminal all the time. The bus lane is in the far left as you enter the terminal area. I would use that route, drop your passengers off there and let them walk (very short distance) to the terminal area. It's essentially just a walk across 4 lanes in the designated crossing area.

I drove my Class a with towed right thru the pick up lane got my passenger and was on our way.

Sac Metro has what is called the Cell Phone Lot, it is a large lot where you can wait for free, then when your pickup arrives they can call you for pickup. I have used it many times and it is large. One of the few things Sac has ever done well. I believe it shows on the Airport web site.

Since you have the toad you could park by the Arco Arena and drive the few miles. As mentioned there are also a few very large shopping centers only a few miles away. There is a "Cell Phone Parking Area" but I don't know what kind of access (tight turns etc) it might have. Also, you do have all those overhead signs for direction, and I never took notice of the heights. Although it is a nice regional airport, with wide roads, it still is congested with people rushing to get in and out. I'd take the toad.

If you got your toad there are shopping centers near by. Just leave the motorhome and take the toad into the airport.

Never did it, but it's not a really packed in airport. They have a cell phone lot but I've never been in it so I don't know if you could get a motorhome in it or not. At the freeway over pass if you go to the other side of the bridge the road dead ends I know there are some large empty spaces over there where you could wait.
