B+B+Rook-P vs. B+P

Hello everyone I had a tournament game lately, which I won on time, in an promising looking endgame having an extra bishop.

 
But I do wonder, if White has drawing chances by getting a fortress? as the rook pawn doesn't allow me to exchange lightsquared bishops.

Interesting position, looks like a draw to me...

Maybe someone who has access to a 7 man tablebase can give a definitive answer.

Yeah, I think this is a draw too. Black's king can't come to g4 without being checked away, and black can't trade light squared bishops either due to the wrong rook pawn.

Well the position above wasn't the final position of that game. In the positon above i thought of getting the white king out of the corner, and somehow win the g-pawn.

 

 
My plan to get the white king out of the corner somehow worked, but maybe my opponent simply misplayed this...
