The property has no water and you're going to rely on a used $20 water tank? Did you ask them why they were selling a 1,500 gallon water tank for twenty bucks when others on CL are listed for hundreds of dollars?
You've got all kinds of faith if you're trusting a $20 water tank. In a state known for the corrosive quality of its water.
Nope. The court date on Apr28 IS FOR April's rent. Timeline is accurate. Our eviction notice is dated the end of Mar2015, our last day here being Apr30
Then why would the landlord sue you? If your eviction notice says the end of March (ie, March 31) then you should have been out of there on April 1.
If there is no written lease agreement, Arizona law requires the rent to be paid within 5 days of the due date or the landlord can start eviction proceedings.
No, AZ LL/Tenant law states 30 day eviction notice for month to mo leases.
True ... and that means you had 30 days, after paying for the month of April to set aside funds and move out by the 1st of May? Instead of doing that, you chose to use April's payment, as you needed the cash upfront for another place?
... are you saying that you put 5,000 down, but were unable to save anything over a two year period?
In other words, you had no other option? Was it a matter of being unemployed for a period of time?
Or do you live from paycheck to paycheck?
Because if that is the case, You should have never entered a lease with the option of buying, while depleting your savings.
How you believe it is honorable to pay-double, does not line up with that of being a good steward; and makes no sense.

This entire tale has parts missing IMO. If the OP has enough income to consider buying the first house but could not because she could not get a mortgage, why would she have to move to a rat-trap trailer without electricity and water (and indoor plumbing?) when the deal on the first place fell through? Is there nothing better than this trailer available to rent? I think it should have been obvious several months before the original lease expired that there would be no mortgage and no purchase, so the OP should have started looking for a new place. The LL wouldn't have agreed to a purchase option on the lease if she was not interested in selling the property.

Yes parts of the story are missing. The OP said she had 30 days to fix the trailer and flip it. Did her friends just give her the trailer + 2 acres of land? Is the OP fixing the trailer to occupy, or flip? I don't see how she can have a trailer in such poor condition ready to be flipped, or occupied in 30 days. If she is moving to a trailer where the previous tenants were vermin and skunks she could be exposing her family to the hantavirus.
Doing business with friends, usually ends friendships. I hope the OP has found other options.

Where is she going to get the money to flip the trailer if she did not have the money for April's rent on the first residence?...
Exactly the OP still owes April's rent + 280.00 late fees if she is out by the 28th of April. I can't see that trailer being move-in ready by 4/28.
Yea...One cannot expect G-d to provide if one is not doing things the way one should...
Eliza, I am going to come break into your house through a window and make sure I cut myself on broken glass so then I can take you to court and sue you, because, you know what?...G-d will provide, I will be the victor because I am a "Christian" and you aren't...So, you deserve what ever happens to you...
