Abstract: An alignment guide 1 is described which aids in aligning and coupling vehicles and trailers and the like. It is adapted for attachment to a first coupling part C1 of a vehicle/trailer coupling device C1, C2. Part C1 may be a towing bar of a vehicle/trailer coupling device, and part C2 may include a socket B1 which engages over a partially spherically-shaped top A1 of the device C1. The alignment guide 1 has a ramp 2 with tapered side wings 3 to guide the part C2 into coupling engagement with the part C1. The alignment guide 1 can be moved to a stored position on part C1 when not in use.
