>(In truth, I do use a Coleman stove or fire for 75% of my cooking)


The fridge accounts for almost all of the propane usage.  I have an electric fridge, so my propane is used only for cooking.  I filled up the tank and went on a 2 month trip (3 people), then used the van for several camping trips over the next few years (probably 4-5 weeks in addition to the 2 month trip).


The tank was still over half full when the fill valve failed and vented the propane.
