Detecting trailer position

Due to the differences in maneuverability when the trailer is at different positions, I realized that some sensor to determine what angle the trailer is at could be quite useful. However, being unable to modify the trailer, and the trailer hitch being outside the maximum robot dimensions, I was unsure of how to do this.
Any suggestions?
(I was considering using SONAR on one side, but I wanted to know if there was a better way)
