And the smokey glass stove cover is no more

For the OP? Question?

Help me understand. Was the burner turned on while the glass cover was closed?

What you were saying is, you didn't realize the cover was closed when you came in from the outside and fired up the stove? So the flame making contact with the glass cover caused it to explode?

Question also? Was the camper cold? Like freezing inside? So when the flame touched the glass, the glass was... like 20 degrees and then instantly getting hit with fire causing it to explode, or was the camper already heated inside when you entered? Either way, the flame made contact with the glass?

Reason I'm asking is because I have a Furrion stove also with the glass flip back-bi-fold cover. I've often wondered, what would happen if the cover was left closed and the burner turned on?

I would have imagined that glass would have been heat and fire resistant. But... maybe not?

Our previous TT did not have a cover at all. I used a large wooden cutting board. Never had a problem using that. It had a cork pad attached on the bottom which prevented sliding around on the burners while in transit.

Here's another suggestion if you can't locate another glass top:

It was warm cold outside, but warm in the trailer which is why our eye glasses stayed tinted for too long. I also thought that the glass top was probably heat resistant and may be, but not completely.

So, trailer was warm and glass top was closed. Pan of water was placed on top and burner was turned on. Maybe 10 or less minutes later, the glass exploded. We don't know if the flame actually was touching the glass, but it was turned on high. Thus, your glass cover is not totally heat resistant. Be careful. :-)
