Should we be looking at running three phase power back to the trailer and rectify right there close to the house battery?
I think you would be much better off with a dc to dc 12V battery charger
If it is unrectified, it is likely unregulated and you can get some pretty high voltages !

What regulates the voltage after the rectifier?
Good question, although I know there are after market voltage regulators.

Can this be used on a 24v alternator?
YES ! In fact most alternators will make enough voltage that it can be rectified and regulated to charge a 24V battery, BUT they will not achieve that voltage until higher engine RPM. You could change the pulley size but the bearings would wear faster.
They also make 12VDC to 24VDC battery chargers !
