Generator/regulator sets should give many tens of thousands of miles without need for service, and I'd be pretty confident those who sell rebuilt units have checked the field windings and armatures. So I'd think your problems lies elsewhere. When a generator fails, what is the model of failure? That would seem to offer the paramount clue to the problem.

The only idea I can think of as a diagnostic is to bypass all the existing electric wires in the charging circuit with new temporary wires and reevaluate.
