Would they then need to get a train/light rail to SEA stop http://www.soundtransit.org/Rider-Gu...irport-Station ?

There's plenty of headroom on the departures deck if you're concerned about the RV fitting. Obviously other cars and drivers might be annoyed, and weaving to the curbside could be difficult. Time of day would matter, too.
You could also drop them off in the parking lot behind the elevator to the skybridge over SR99 that connects directly to the airport light rail station, a 10-15 min. walk from the terminal. There are luggage carts (for rent) at the station. https://goo.gl/maps/ytUZU8X5kPM2

If there's lots of traffic at the terminal, driving in there with an RV might be a colossal pain, though. In light traffic, if the OP can handle the vehicle skillfully enough, the annoyance to other drivers would be much less than that caused by the drivers who come in there and just SIT and block everybody.
The second suggestion:
This is it, right?

An option ----along international blvd the main hotel drag---stop at 176th and international at the choice hotel (I think its a clarion) that is just across the street from the airport link station and easy walking distance from there to the airport.
You could possibly use some other hotel options as well and then sneak onto the hotel shuttle. Similarly use a few of the satellite parking lots and they take the airport shuttle.
You could also drop them off at the rental car center at 160th and international and use the shuttle buses from there...just drive in like a bus (maybe you could get in---I don't recall)

That's an excellent idea and indeed would work; there is a visitors parking lot (use the rental car bus entrance) that would have plenty of space. Then walk a few hundred feet to the rental car bus return. No worries about "sneaking" onto a hotel or private lot's shuttle.
