Removing the loft in an old barn?

[Niklaso76]

Hello!
To create headroom for a caravan/motorhome, I would like to remove the loft/upper floor and the posts that support it. Does anyone know if it's OK to just remove the longitudinal and transverse beams that the loft floor rests on? On top of the loft, there are roof trusses with transverse beams.

Hello and welcome to Byggahus!
I see a ridge roof in your pictures, you should probably keep some of the transverse logs so that the long sides don't "calve".

Hello and welcome to Byggahus!
I see a ridge roof in your pictures, you should probably keep some of the transverse beams so that the long sides don't "splay."

Thank you! Can the transverse beams that are currently under the roof be moved up to the loft to counteract splaying? Or can wires be used instead of beams?
