Charge Batteries by Idling Tow Vehicle?
This may be a dumb question, but since every tow vehicle has a generator which is connected to the batteries and they charge while driving, how about hooking up and charging at the campsite while idli...

It is an industry standard. Unless of course they have started the Herb Tarlek maneuver. It's similar to the Heimlich maneuver but a person first eats for a week without going to the bathroom.
Hairpin stator winding reduces winding temperature with relationship to watts produced. Therefore a 150c rating isn't such a deep slump from ambient.
Why isn't every current alternator hairpin design?
COST
The stator has a LOT more copper. Diodes must be much higher capacity. The diode heatsink has to be more exotic. A much higher rotor field draw increases the cost of a voltage regulator by magnitudes.
The car manufacturer bean counters would get diarrhea at the mere thought of this added "unnecessary" expense.
Remember Nippondenso invented a gear reduction starter motor for big rigs, that...
Delivers twice the cranking power of a Delco
Uses 45% of the wattage of a Delco
Lasts longer
Costs less
And weighs about half that of a 40, 42 or 50MT Delco.
Stubborn Stupidity is going to relegate US industry to the status of Lucas electrical components. I will not see it - I will be feeding a tree.
