Hey Steve, thanks for the pics. That looks like a fun project. To power a 110v fridge, water pump, and any other appliances you have, I recommend the Go Power Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter item # 34280178.
The Go Power item # 34280178 is going to give you plenty of power for when the compressor kicks on in your fridge. The built-in safeguards for over/under voltage are also a nice feature. It will protect against short circuiting, overloading, and over/under temperature during power use. It has Sine wave tech which will let you run power to sensitive devices like coffee pots, tool chargers, computers, cell phones, and TVs without worrying they'll get fried.
You'll want to use the Installation Fuse Block Kit item # 342GPDCKIT5 to connect the inverter to your batteries.
