Yes you would, and yes the chassis engine would use a bit more than the Onan--but not as much on the smaller B's and even on an Axis if the engine is a V6 instead of the monster V-10.

Here is the kicker, however: I doubt anyone would know you're running the chassis engine as it sits there silently idling away. You could run it at 3am and not wake a soul.
