What's a good floor jack and how much should I be paying? Is there anything I should watch out for when using a floor jack on my Q? Or is it as easy as just jacking from the same points as when I use the on board jack?

I shopped around a year ago and was unable to find any resonably priced US made jacks. I bought a Craftsman (china) 3 ton for $100.00, they said they have parts in stock for the jack if needed. The jack seems to be well built. Sears has sales all the time on these. Time will tell how well it holds up. I don't own a Q so I can't send You a picture of the jacking points, my M30 manuel has a sheet showing all the points. Hopefully a Q guy can post one for You.

I jack my Q at the rear using the forward suspension link mount. In the front I use the frame rail where the metal is double thickness. You can also cut a groove in a piece of 2x4 about 6" long and use the factory jack points with the wood as a cushion between the car and jack.

Shur-Lift makes still makes a high quality made in USA/Canada portable Jack. It's easy to use, can lift a small RV and mine has lasted many years.
