The ABS light is pretty simple to troubleshoot and anyone with a capable OBD code reader, something at bit more then what the average shade tree mechanic might have, can determine what the problem is. A problem sensor is an easy driveway fix. The system will self reset but you may need to drive the coach for the ABS system to re-calibrate and self test beyond the power on testing during starting.
Concerning the brakes replacement parts are not the big cost of the work, labor is what will drive the cost. Figure $100-$130 a hour. Estimate 2 hours per wheel maybe 3 if the rotors need to come off. With a little effort an owner can research parts to determine that cost.
If the prior owner abused the brakes hard enough that at 18,000 miles they need to be replaced I would bite the budget bullet and have the wheel bearings reworked. To get the rotors off the hub bolt needs to come off and the mechanic will have easy access to the wheel bearing at that point.
