The motor that I removed from my travel trailer awning has a s/n of 8719079. Will the below replacement motor work in its place. Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor Item # LC266149

I spoke with my contact at Lippert who wasn't able to confirm what replaces the SN that you gave me, however I did tell him that you input a 2015 Forest River Salem Travel Trailer in the vehicle guide and he was able to give me some insight.

The Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor # LC266149 that you referenced has a pigtail for the wiring that matches all awning motors that were made before 2015 so it is what you need. In 2015 there was a design change, but that would translate over to 2016 model year travel trailers. After the 2016 models it is really just hit and miss depending on what the manufacturer had in stock.
