interior renovation/structural integrity

I am restoring a '62 Flying Cloud and am worried about taking out all of the structural walls (bathroom) and if this will cause damage to the trailer when moved. Possible damage to the outside after taking out the structural members.

Which walls are you referring too? Interior panels and ribs or the dividing walls from bathroom to rest if trailer. If it is the dividing walls it won't matter at all. The shell and ribs do all the work. 👍

Awesome. I was speaking of the cabinet and arch wall/doorway going into the bathroom. I was worried that if I take this out it may hurt the structure/integrity...Taking out these walls will make getting the tub and toilet tank easier to get out, as well as make the renovation larger with more usable space. We are making a dinning cart for Thai food cart.
