White to move. Is this a win or draw? No computer analysis please.

1.h7 Rf8 2.Rg4+ Kh6 3.Rg8 white wins.
1.h7 Rf8 2.Rg4+Kh6 3.Rg8 1-0
Well, 1. h7 Rf8 2. Rg4+ Kh6 (or somewhere else) 3. Rg8
Seems like what white would like to happen. I do not see drawing motifs for black now.
1.h7 Rf8 2.Rg4+ Kh6 3.Rg8 1-0
1.h7 Rf8 2.Rg4+ Kh6 3.Rg8 1-0
I think it’s a draw. 1.h7 Rf8 2.Rg4+ Kf6! 3.Rg8 4.Kf7! and draw. Am I missing something?
Sebaf74: The next move (after your 3. … Kf7) is 4. Rxf8+.
Or, Seba, white plays
3. Rf4+ Kg7
4. Rf8
