I have learned that the inverter needs to be on all the time for the fridge but it should be turned off when in storage as it does draw down the house batteries.

Is that correct?

Now for what may be a stupid question.......... How do the house 6 volt batteries get converted to 12 volt AC? Does it go through this inverter or something else?

Sorry, this is our first RV and I obviously have a lot to learn.

First 12 volt. The 12 volt system is 12 VDC and not 12 VAC. The 6 volt batteries are connected in series thereby providing 12 VDC.

Inverter - the inverter can be turned off when connected to shore power or when the coach is in storage.
