adding outlets to the inverter

I would like to add the outlet next to the dinette to the string of outlets that is connected to the inverter. Any help would be appreciated.

There's a breaker in the main panel that should be labeled "inverter". You just need to tap into that circuit and tie it to existing romex feeding the dinette string or add a new outlet.

I thought the breaker in the load center breaker panel was for the converter. And the overload protection for the inverter was a breaker or a fuse in the battery compartment.

I believe the inverter is sized to operate the refrigerator. Any additional load may be too much for it.

I should clarify. I have the RV refer and have the solar/inverter package. The tap should be made at the output of the 20A switch right after the inverter. The switch plugs to it directly.

Are you talking about the inverter (changes 12 volts to 120 volts) or the converter (changes 120 volts to 12 volts) ? If you are not sure and don't have electrical experience, get professional help so as not to damage your electrical system.
