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.
