Trunk Mounted Bike Rack that Fits 2019 Volkswagen Atlas
I have a similar trunk mounted bike rack that does fit your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas with the Saris Bones # SA805BL but the Thule you mentioned does not fit. The Saris is very lightweight and easy to use so it's a really great option. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached...

Recommended Roof Rack for 2019 VW Atlas With Raised Side Rails
For your 2019 VW Atlas with raised side rails I highly recommend going with an option from Yakima, which consists of the Yakima Jetstream Crossbars # Y00426 and TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR. This will give you a roof rack which not only looks great but uses aero bars with ridges that helps give you a very quiet ride. The bars are 60" long to fit the width of your Atlas and have T-slots which will allow you to use channel-mounting accessories. I also recommend using SKS...

What to Check When Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Circuit Tester Reads 3 Axles on a 2 Axle Trailer
The Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Circuit Tester # 8010 reading that you have 3 axles for the brake function just means that there is a bit more resistance on that circuit than what you'd normally find for a 2 axle setup. With this being the case you'll just want to check to make sure all of your grounds and connections are clean and properly secured. Pay a little closer attention to the ground for the brakes as a bad ground can cause issues. If everything looks fine than you're good to go!

Crossbar Spacing For Rhino-Rack Roof Rack on 2020 VW Altas Cross Sport
I checked with Rhino-Rack and the crossbar spacing for their roof rack on a 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport should be between 27-9/16" and 31-1/2". The correct fit is the following: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 - Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs # RR64VJ Even if you have the crossbars with the correct spacing, there may still be wind noise, and by far the best option to remedy that is with a wind fairing: - Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks - 44" Long # RRRF3

Low Clearance Tire Chain Options for 2021 Volkswagen Atlas with Tire Size 255/75-20 265/45-20
The Konic Easy Fit Chains part # th04115265 you referenced that fit the tire size of 255/75-20 that you have on your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas offer a lower clearance requirement like tire cables so I can't imagine they'd affect the warranty but you'd be best served checking with Volkswagen. These will hold up way better than cables too so in that regard you'd have less of a chance of failure that would damage a wheel well. These only require 10 mm of clearance which is right at about the same...

Based on what you described wanting the best hitch solution we have for your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7362 as it is the least visible option and offers best ground clearance.

The first picture I attached shows the EcoHitch and the second shows the Draw Tite # 76176.

A-Frame Jack for Camper With Low Height
The dimensions that are important for an A-frame jack are the retracted height and extended height, which tells you what the travel is. It's pretty simple, but the different terms can be confusing. Travel is just the extended height minus the retracted height, and these heights are measured from the bottom of the mounting point to the bottom of the foot. For example, for your low 17 inch measurement from the top of the A-frame to the ground I recommend the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack...

Does Fascia Need to be Trimmed For Draw-Tite Hitch Install on 2021 VW Atlas
You are not doing anything wrong at all; with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76176 that fits your 2021 VW Atlas, it is possible that on some vehicles the fascia will need to be trimmed in order for the receiver to protrude properly. That isn't the case with all, but for whatever reason, Draw-Tite did not mention this in the instructions. So you'll want to measure the area so the # 76176 receiver can extend correctly, likely about a 3-1/2" wide x 2-1/2" long section.
