My understanding is that the reason for the trailer registration matching the tow vehicle has more to do with insurance than state laws.
I have boats registered in NH. They were purchased in NH and never leave NH. However the trailers have MA registrations. According to my insurance company, in the case of an accident while towing, I'm only covered if the trailer is tied to my vehicle policy.
If yours don't match, you might want to check with your insurance agent to make sure you are covered.
