Solo I can go about two weeks... only 1 cup of tea for breakfast... dinners
are simple and don't require a lot of cooking... i.e. pasta, etc.... and
sometimes BBQ outside and don't use propane.... fridge going 24 hours a
day.... (not driving and running fridge on 12 v) and relatively cool nights
where the fridge is not burning much propane..... As you can see there are a
lot of factors.

BTW... as far as sleeping in a Westy goes it is still tent camping... (a
tent on wheels) and it will be just as cold unless you sleep down below with
the top down.
