UPDATE: I went back out and was trying to engineer a way to bypass this check valve and noticed something interesting. There is three places to connect a hose to this camper. 1. The city water connection. 2. The fresh water tank fill. 3. The black tank flush.
What I thought was interesting was that the only one of the three connections that didn't have a check valve was the connection for the black tank flush. It was also the only connection that had a screen in it. So I thought hmm, what if they just put them in the wrong spot when they installed them at the factory? So I removed the two connections and swapped them. I can now add water to the fresh tank with a funnel. I went ahead and put some water in the fresh tank to make sure it wouldn't affect water pressure, and everything worked fine. So for now, until I can get a system to add water with an external pump, I think this will work.

Design issues like this make me wonder if the people designing them have ever gone camping.

Avion, when the tank is full, water comes out of an overflow tube beneath the camper next to the drain tube/valve. Travisc, your suggestions are the only ones that have come up with as well. I was contemplating removing the check valve, or I'll have to be able to pressurize the water with an external pump. I asked the dealer about this issue, and he said that the check valve should be easy enough to open that simply pouring water through a funnel would create enough force to push the check valve open. Needless to say, I tried it and water just sat in the funnel.
