Trailer from different state to tow vehicle?

Traveling in the US with a vehicle registered in Mexico and towing a trailer registered in the US will be a giant red flag for law enforcement. You will want to carry with you all legal documents showing ownership of the tow vehicle and trailer.
Getting registration and insurance for the trailer in the US will be quite a challenge. In order to register the trailer in the US, you will have to obtain a street address in the US, and establish a residency. Without legal authorization to be a US resident, it might be problematic. Without an established residency, obtaining insurance will be impossible, I think. Your best resource will be mail forwarding services that cater to full timers. Dakota Post in Sioux Falls, SD is a good one. South Dakota seems to have loose rules about establishing residency.
