Would this work well to take on camping trips to keep a portable refrigerator cooler running?
Yes. Unless it's extremely hot where the fridge is being held, this should be able to easily power a 12v fridge for 24 hours. Here's the specs on an Iceco JP40 fridge which claims to consume 480W/24h which aligns with my experiences.

This is exactly how I use mine. The 12V ACC adapter keeps the station topped off while driving. I have yet to use the included solar panel, but it seems pretty damn nice for what you pay.
Bought mine when Amazon had this set for 409, and I thought that was great. I'd buy it again, especially for this price, if I needed another. Should include a 5 year warranty as well.
For those anyone who owns or have experience with it— is the unit quiet or gets loud when several things plugged in? Like an electric fan and fridge maybe?

I haven't had enough current drawn from it to start up the fan, but I have heard it come on while charging. It's not exactly quiet, but I wouldn't call it loud. Your electric fan may be louder and even cover it up.
I am putting in a new gazebo and wanted something I could plug in an outdoor ceiling fan into and some lights. Would be two fans at 100 watts. Looks like this should be able to run them for a few hours at least? Or would it be better to build a small solar setup: buy a panel or two, the controller and inverter?
This is a very good deal for a known brand with the solar panel. I was kind of holding out for a Delta 2 because I wanted the 1000wh, but this is really tempting.

Concerned about Camping World's return policy should I want to return, it states store credit or check mailed for unused and unopened items within 30 days for electronics.

Keep the fridge in the shade, and cover it with ~3 beach towels (not covering the vents)
Towels really add to the insulation factor.
I run a similar e-kooler for 60 days continously, but I feed it with 400 Watts as a couple of cloudy days really kills the solar generation.
If you were camping more than 2 days, it probably will fail at some time, as 160 W is not enough input given randomness of clouds.. Plus my battery is ~1400 Wh and it sometimes goes below 1/2 so a 512Wh is really too small to carry past the night and cloudy day then another night effect.

I have the Delta 2 and pretty impressed with it's capabilities for it's size and weight. Used it with an large air fryer that was pulling between 1500-1700 watts for nearly 30 minutes and took the Delta 2 down to around 20% SOC, so battery capacity not that great without the extra battery for heavy draw items. Like the phone app to gauge input and output along with control charging parameters.
