4 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 1 , further including connection straps, wherein the connection straps are mounted on the storage housing and wherein the connection straps are configured to close the storage housing and retain the inflatable structure within the storage housing.

5 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 1 , further including an attached mode, wherein the inflation module attaches to the inflatable structure at the inflatable base, after the inflatable structure is removed from the inflation module.

6 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 1 , wherein the inflation module has an attached mode, wherein the inflation module attaches to the inflatable structure at the inflatable base in the attached mode.

7 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 1 , further including an air inlet conduit extending between the inflation module and the inflatable structure, wherein the fan blower is configured to inflate the air inlet conduit, wherein the air inlet conduit is inflatable, and wherein the inflation module is selectively reconfigurable between (i) an attached mode in which the inflation module is attached to the inflatable base and (ii) an extended mode in which the inflation module is positioned away from the inflatable structure and is connected to the inflatable structure only through the air inlet conduit.

8 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 7 , wherein the inflation module has a detached mode, wherein the inflation module detaches from the inflatable structure, only being connected at a conduit.

9 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 7 , wherein the fan blower is mounted at the air intake.

10 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 7 , further including connection straps, wherein the connection straps are mounted on the storage housing and are configured to connect the storage housing to the inflatable base.

11 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 7 , further including connection straps, wherein the connection straps are mounted on the storage housing and wherein the connection straps are configured to close the storage housing and retain the inflatable structure within the storage housing in the deflated mode.

12 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 7 , further including an attached mode, wherein the inflation module attaches to the inflatable structure at the inflatable base.

13 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 7 , wherein the inflation module has an attached mode, wherein the inflation module attaches to the inflatable structure at the inflatable base in the attached mode.

14 . An inflatable structure with integrated carrier comprising:

an inflatable structure, wherein the inflatable structure has an inflated mode and a deflated mode, wherein the inflatable structure has an inflatable base;

an inflation module connected to the inflatable structure, wherein the inflation module comprises an inflation module housing, wherein the inflation module has a fan blower powered by a fan motor mounted within the inflation module housing, wherein the inflation module further includes an air intake, wherein the fan blower draws air from the air intake and inflates the inflatable structure, wherein the inflation module further comprises wheels and a pull handle attached to the inflation module housing;

a storage housing, wherein the storage housing is formed within the inflation module housing of the inflation module, wherein the storage housing receives the inflatable structure when the inflatable structure is in a deflated mode; and

an air collector, wherein the air collector is formed around the fan blower, wherein the air collector is configured to muffle the sound of the fan motor, wherein a sound attenuation cover is mounted to the air collector, wherein the air collector has a concave shape defining a concave cavity that receives the fan motor, and wherein the sound attenuation cover comprises a mineral wool sheet conformed to the concave shape of the air collector.

15 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 14 , wherein the fan blower is mounted at the air intake.

16 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 14 , further including connection straps, wherein the connection straps are mounted on the storage housing and are configured to connect the storage housing to the inflatable base.

17 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 14 , further including connection straps, wherein the connection straps are mounted on the storage housing and wherein the connection straps are configured to close the storage housing and retain the inflatable structure within the storage housing.

18 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 14 , further including an attached mode, wherein the inflation module attaches to the inflatable structure at the inflatable base, after the inflatable structure is removed from the inflation module.

19 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 14 , wherein the inflation module has an attached mode, wherein the inflation module attaches to the inflatable structure at the inflatable base in the attached mode.

20 . The inflatable structure with integrated carrier of claim 14 , further including an air inlet conduit, wherein the fan blower is configured to inflate the air inlet conduit, wherein the air inlet conduit is inflatable.
