In the 30a 5er we had, the fridge was on the "general" receptacle circuit, as were the 120v lights, and that circuit included the bathroom GFCI. The converter was sharing that breaker.
There is a four or five branch limit on number of circuit breakers. I think the fridge went on with the converter for wattage reasons. If the fridge is 350w and the converter is 1100w that does not leave much left over.
The other choices were to put the fridge in with the A/C, or the WH/MW (they were on same breaker-only use one or the other at a time), or the galley counter receptacle (GFCI with own breaker) which could be worse for wattage total.
