Anyone have any clever ideas on how to do this?

Why would you be "no longer gravity feed" if all you are doing is adding a water pump bypass with ball valve? The bypass allows the city water to "back feed" the FW tank to fill it from the pump suction line.
I did the same thing on our ACE in the wet bay so I could easily fill the FW tank while connected to city water. I still have the gravity fill and vent, the mod does not affect that at all.
My previous RV was a Travel Trailer with the gravity fill on the passenger side, just a PITA all around.
