Anything above 15% would worry me even if you’ve used it in cold wet weather with dogs etc. But mine were nearer 10% in winter, and less in summer.
Damp meters can be expensive but a cheaper one is useful for spotting trends. Materials used in modern caravans aren’t always suitable for taking damp readings using a two prong meter.
What’s your concern?

Are the Alu-tech, fully bonded , no timber in the construction damp tested the same way as traditional builds?
