Dropping Off in a Motorhome - DFW Airport
I'm not entirely sure where to ask this, so here we go. I need to pick up and drop off a rental car at DFW from our 38' MH for use in Dallas. We're going down to pick up the rig, so we won't have a...

It has been a long time since I've been at DFW in a car, but don't assume you can get to any of the terminals because the buses can. Airport shuttle buses are built to the low clearances, motorhomes are not.
At DFW, it is going to depend on which rental car company. Most are off the airport premises. Many do not allow entrance by any private vehicles, so the closest you might get will be the security gate at the rental lot.
DFW is near Grapevine. It is not in Dallas, it is not in Fort Worth. Before someone decided to put the the airport out in the middle of nowhere, American Airlines used to fly from Dallas to Fort Worth. The only reason to go to DFW is to catch a flight, if you are going someplace that you can't get to from Love Field.
You don't need to go to DFW to rent a car in Dallas. There are rental companies around Love Field, downtown in Dallas, and in Fort Worth and Arlington, and probably some of the other large suburbs. Enterprise, in particular, has more than forty locations in Dallas and they will pick you up and drive you to their office. So your real problem is finding storage parking for your motorhome while you are running around Dallas in your rental car.
Stay away from the airports if you want a rental in Dallas. Especially stay away from DFW airport.
