We are heading to Alaska in Class A flat towing a 2021 jeep wrangler. We did this several years ago and ended up with so many dings and window chips. Any suggestions on covers that can be easily put on and taken off throughout travel.

Thanks so much

Put the Jeep on a trailer and tow it covered if needed.. I have a light weight 16 foot trailer ,, ( two axel car hauler ) it gets the Jeep off the ground where it usually gets all the punishment from ..>>>Dan

Get one of the under-skirts for your tow-bar.

That is called a "protect a tow" and I have had one for 8 years,, but don't use one in a snow storm,, from the weight of the snow it will sag down and drag on the road until it becomes useless,,, ask me how I know to the tune of $100.00 for a replacement..>>>Dan
 
Put your rock guard 4" above the ground when at ride height.

We've gone ~30-40K towing our jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with zero dents (other than parking lot carriages and one rock chip thrown from a truck when not towing on our third day of owning it!). Roads have not been the "infamous" AlCan Highway - but plenty of gravel roads, off roads, rocks, road debris, etc.

Maybe we're just lucky?

Used that type of device myself. NICE. worked well.
First trip out west I did not have it and the Towed needed a bath before I could even park it covered with mud.
Got it installed on the way west on the next trip and arrived home looking fresh washed No mud on car.

Exactly Correct.

If you have a diesel pusher with the exhaust exiting at the back, it may melt the protect-a-tow.
I took my rear advertising flap off because I couldn't raise it. This helped!
May want to consider adding your vehicle information like mine below so people know the info on your rig.
