Check with DMV. In most states, a document which names a beneficiary passes title to the beneficiary outside the Will. If that is the case in Arizona, the park model trailer is yours and you owe rent.
The executor of the estate must gather the assets, including the contents, but can do so without locking you out of your own property. Send a notice, certified mail return receipt requested, stating that if the contents are not removed from your property within 30 days they will be considered abandonned and disposed of. They can be moved to a storage facility: they do not need to be in your trailer (assuming the DMV says that it is yours).
