U-Haul Trailers Don't Have Electric Brakes?

that's fine. you'll need to do something like rent an RV that has electric trailer brakes. start with a small one.

Personally if you are just wanting to practice with a trailer I wouldn't worry about what type of brakes it has.Worry about the size, FYI smaller trailers are harder to back up.
You will probably want different settings on the brake controller for each trailer. So if you rented on with electric brakes and got it adjusted then buy a trailer with electric brakes you need to adjust it again.

Rent their long flat bed cargo trailer. It's 6x12 I think.
Then advance to the largest enclosed trailer as it will block more of your view once you've gotten an idea what you are doing.
You don't need electric brakes to test towing.
I think it would be detrimental actually, if not having brakes properly adjusted you'll have too much to think about when trying to prevent the trailer from locking up, or the white knuckles from not slowing as fast as you had expected.
It's a great idea that you want to practice in advance. Just don't bike off more than you can chew.
