Suggest you pressure test the system and have cardboard laid out under the engine on the ground.
That much fluid is going somewhere.as advised, i would pressure test the system you should be able to find the leak. some leaks do not show up until the system is under pressure. you can rent a coolant system pressure tester from advance for free (with deposit)
those vans are notorious for various coolant leaks at different points, i would check:
radiator and hoses
metal pipe that attaches the lower rad hose to the engine – always rusts out
water pump
heater hose assembly behind engine (metal and rubber hoses)
metal coolant pipes to rear heater core
fittings for pipes to rear heater corealso check under the floor mats for water… if the heater core is leaking it self you might not see any leaks but the mats should be wet.. but with it leaking like a gal or 2 you should be running a pool in the floor
