Towing an Airstream with a Uhaul?

As pointed out in a prior thread, I don't have a TV for a larger Airstream. What about using a U-Haul truck? I know this wouldn't be cheap, but would it work? One issue I foresee is that the U-Hauls are not set up for trailer brakes. Is this necessary given the weight of the U-Haul trucks? Another possible issue is that all of the U-Haul trucks except the 14' have a welded 2" ball. The 14' foot will apparently accept up to a 2 5/16" ball...

If not having trailer brakes isn't a issue, how large of an Airstream could be moved on the interstate with one of these 14' trucks?
