If I own my trailer but rent a lot inside a mobile home park., do the park owners have the right to tell me who can and cannot be inside my home?
I have a friend who is staying a couple days to help with my child. The park owners left a letter on my door stating the friend is not to be in the park and if found will be escorted out by the police. I own my home. This person has done nothing agains the park or anyone in this park. I have never signed a lease.

If there is no lease, then no--the park owners do not have this right. Leases can provide landlords (such as park owners) the right to limit or exclude tenant guests, but in the absence of a lease, there is no authority for doing this. If your friend were disruptive, then the park could give you notice that she or he must leave or you could face eviction; but a non-disruptive guest may not be excluded in the absence of lease authority.
