You say the license plate swivels down so it is visible when retracted. My state does not license utility trailers, so the trailer would have no license. The license plate that is blocked is the tow vehicle's plate.
For states that do require a trailer license plate...kind of a gray area.
If no part of the contraption is touching the ground, is it legally still a trailer? If not, is it legitimate to show a trailer license plate?
I don't know the answer but seems like an opportunity for a speed trap cop to tack on an extra ticket and let you fight it in court.
