"Access from interior" means that when you put the pop top up you can open the screen and easily access the box. As for drag... I am SURE you are right, the guy who sold it to me said no appreciable change in mileage. It may improve things a bit if you also have stuff on your westy top as it may smooth the airflow a bit. I realize the frontal area has increased but it is REALLY areodynamic looking.
