The present invention provides a warning device for attachment to a tractor unit for warning when an attached trailer has pivoted to a position where it may cause damage to the tractor. The warning device comprises a base for attachment to a skirt of the tractor unit, the base being adapted at one end for receiving a switch means and also being adapted to receive one end of a resilient connecting means. The device includes a feeler which extends from the device in a position to contact the trailer unit when the trailer unit has pivoted to a potentially skirt contacting position, the feeler being adapted for receiving the second end of the resilient connecting means to connect the base and the feeler. The resilient connecting means joining the base and the feeler of the warning device allows for full movement of the feeler relative to the base in all directions. The switch means is selected such that movement of the feeler in any direction causes activation of the switch and a suitable signalling means electrically connected thereto.
