- Since , said trailer is in the name of your father , then he can transfer it without taking your consent , and it depend upon him to give you or not.

- Further, legally he having his right to vacate you after filing a suit before the court. 

- However, if you have invested amount for renovation etc., then you can claim the expenditure from him.

- Further, if you have paid amount for the purchase of that trailer then you can file a suit before the court for declaring owner of the trailer after submitting proof of payment.

Even though you have spent on maintenance of the said property and have been living in it, since you have not purchased it and the legal owner is your father which you cannot deny.

Therefore your claim for ownership of this property may not be entertained by court  neither the court will be convinced about your expenses that you made on it to claim the ownership/title to the property.

Your father never mislead you, without understanding the proposition that this property never legally belonged to you but you are claiming the title on the basis of your own imaginary presumptions, you may be liable for any legal action that your father may institute agaisnt you to eject you out of this property.
