you said that you have a fridge, and you want to make it to work in solar panel (250W) and (200Ah) batteries.
the fridge seems to be 12V DC, you can buy a MPPT controller if you want to get more effiecent system as the PWM controller is less in effiecency by 30%.
you can check the following products on Amzon

Those all-in-one power setups always seem kind of expensive to me, for what you are getting. They are all about convenience. You could build your own system for a little cheaper. The storage and output are incredibly low, I thought maybe there was a typo, but it seems to just be a portable phone charger which is what you are looking for.
Here's a tiny 12ah battery, charge controller, and you can get a small inverter. You can beef up these components, or just expand as you go.

Honestly, I think a deep cycle yellow top Optima battery would serve you better. You could charge your stuff, and have a reliable starting battery. No fuss, no gizmos.
I spent this Australian winter at the snow which meant that I didn't have as much power coming from the solar panels. I have 180AH of AGM batteries and 200w of solar with Renogy Adventurer 30A PWM solar charge controller.
I also had a Redarc SBI12 VSR which charges the batteries from the alternator when the car is running.
I'm was running a 38L Fridge, diesel heater, lights, laptop, cameras, gopro, rechargeable torch batteries, battery for chainsaw, etc.. So basically a hell of a lot of electronics. I was using too much and the batteries, VSR and solar couldn't keep up.
Sounds like I was in a similar situation to you. I looked at the cost of extra batteries, solar panels, etc.. Those options looked expensive.
Instead after some significant research I went with a Renogy 40A DC to DC Battery Charger. This replaced the existing Redarc VSR that I had. This is what I would recommend to you. It's significantly better at charging the batteries than the old Redarc VSR which is probably similar to what you have at the moment.
For me, even when I was parked up for days it was easier for me to run the van for the bit and charge the batteries.
How many AH do you have?
