If you have a written lease with them, they can only ask you to leave if you fail to pay rent, on the lease's expiration, if you violate the lease's terms in some significant way, or threaten/assault them or damage their property.
If you pay rent but don't have a written lease, they can give you 30 days notice to terminating your tenancy and that you have to leave; without a written lease, you are a month to month tenant. The could also make you leave for the same reasons you could be made to leave with a written lease.
If you don't pay rent and don't have a lease, you are guests, and they can ask you to leave at any time; you remain only so long as they give you permission to remain.
You can take your trailer if you have to go, assuming you are the owners.
